Question 1

What is metacentric height?

  • Distance from the center of buoyancy to the water surface
  • Distance from center of buoyancy to the metacenter
  • Distance from the water surface to the metacenter

💡 Hint: Think about where the metacenter is located.

Question 2

True or False: Only a small part of an iceberg is visible above water.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the ratio we discussed earlier.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A ship has a metacentric height of 2 meters. If additional weight raises the center of gravity by 0.5 meters, discuss the impact on the ship's stability and provide calculations to support your answer.

💡 Hint: Consider how raising the center of gravity affects equilibrium.

Question 2

In a naval engineering simulation, an iceberg's base temperature rises, causing underwater melting. Calculate how this shift changes the stability conditions and respond with a safety proposal for nearby vessels.

💡 Hint: Account for the ratio of submerged to visible parts of the iceberg.
