MCQ
The centre of gravity of the floating ship.
- ACoincides with the metacentre.
- ✓Lies below the metacentre.
- CLies above the metacentre.
- DNone of the above.
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Lies below the metacentre.
The metacentre remains directly above the center of buoyancy regardless of the tilt of a floating body, for example that of the ship. $($Center of gravity is the point in a body about which all parts of the body balance each other$).$
