Unstable Equilibrium of Floating Body Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Metacentric Height = Distance between Point B and G-Distance between Point B and M
GM = BG-BM
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Metacentric Height - (Measured in Meter) - Metacentric height is defined as the vertical distance between the center of gravity of a body and metacenter of that body.
Distance between Point B and G - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Point B and G is the vertical distance between the center of buoyance of the body and center of gravity.where B stands for center of buoyancy and G stands for center of gravity.
Distance between Point B and M - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Point B and M is defined as the vertical distance between the center of buoyancy of the body and the metacenter of that body. Where B stands for buoyancy and M stands for metacenter.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Distance between Point B and G: 25 Millimeter --> 0.025 Meter (Check conversion here)
Distance between Point B and M: 52 Millimeter --> 0.052 Meter (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
GM = BG-BM --> 0.025-0.052
Evaluating ... ...
GM = -0.027
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
-0.027 Meter -->-27 Millimeter (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
-27 Millimeter <-- Metacentric Height
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

Unstable Equilibrium of Floating Body Formula

Metacentric Height = Distance between Point B and G-Distance between Point B and M
GM = BG-BM

What is unstable equilibrium?

Stable equilibrium exists when the object is in its lowest energy condition; metastable equilibrium exists when additional energy (ΔG) must be introduced before the object can reach true stability; unstable equilibrium exists when no additional energy is needed before reaching metastability or stability.

How to Calculate Unstable Equilibrium of Floating Body?

Unstable Equilibrium of Floating Body calculator uses Metacentric Height = Distance between Point B and G-Distance between Point B and M to calculate the Metacentric Height, Unstable Equilibrium of floating body is when the metacenter is below the center of gravity, then the floating body is said to be in an unstable condition.Where B=Center of buoyancy, G=Center of gravity, M=Metacenter. Metacentric Height is denoted by GM symbol.
