Righting Couple when Floating Body in Unstable Equilibrium Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Righting Couple = (Weight of Body*Distance from submerged to Floating Body*(Angle Between Bodies*(180/pi)))
R_{Righting Couple} = (W_body*x*(D*(180/pi)))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Righting Couple - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Righting couple is the coil turns under the action of deflecting torque.
Weight of Body - (Measured in Newton) - Weight of Body is the force acting on the object due to gravity.
Distance from submerged to Floating Body - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from submerged to Floating Body at any point along the perpendicular axis.
Angle Between Bodies - (Measured in Radian) - Angle Between Bodies is the space between two intersecting lines or surfaces at or close to the point where they meet.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Body: 18 Newton --> 18 Newton No Conversion Required
Distance from submerged to Floating Body: 8 Meter --> 8 Meter No Conversion Required
Angle Between Bodies: 90 Degree --> 1.5707963267946 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_{Righting Couple} = (W_body*x*(D*(180/pi))) --> (18*8*(1.5707963267946*(180/pi)))

Evaluating ... ...

R_{Righting Couple} = 12959.9999999976

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12959.9999999976 Newton Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12959.9999999976 ≈ 12960 Newton Meter <-- Righting Couple

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
