Metacenter Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Metacenter = Moment of Inertia/(Volume of Object*Centre of Gravity)-Centre of Buoyancy
M = I/(V_o*G)-B
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Metacenter - Metacenter is the theoretical point where a vertical line through the center of buoyancy and center of gravity intersects the new center of buoyancy when a body is tilted in water.
Moment of Inertia - (Measured in Kilogram Square Meter) - Moment of Inertia is the measure of the resistance of a body to angular acceleration about a given axis.
Volume of Object - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Object is the volume occupied by a submerged or floating object in a fluid.
Centre of Gravity - Centre of gravity of the object is the point through which gravitational force is acting.
Centre of Buoyancy - Centre of Buoyancy is the center of the gravity of the volume of water which a body displaces.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Moment of Inertia: 1.125 Kilogram Square Meter --> 1.125 Kilogram Square Meter No Conversion Required
Volume of Object: 54 Cubic Meter --> 54 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Centre of Gravity: 0.021 --> No Conversion Required
Centre of Buoyancy: -16 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

M = I/(V_o*G)-B --> 1.125/(54*0.021)-(-16)

Evaluating ... ...

M = 16.9920634920635

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

16.9920634920635 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

16.9920634920635 ≈ 16.99206 <-- Metacenter

What is Metacentric Height?

The metacentric height (GM) is a measurement of the initial static stability of a floating body. It is calculated as the distance between the center of gravity of a ship and its metacenter . A larger metacentric height implies greater initial stability against overturning.

How to Calculate Metacenter?

Metacenter calculator uses Metacenter = Moment of Inertia/(Volume of Object*Centre of Gravity)-Centre of Buoyancy to calculate the Metacenter, Metacenter, also spelled metacenter, in fluid mechanics, the theoretical point at which an imaginary vertical line passing through the center of buoyancy and center of gravity intersects the imaginary vertical line through a new center of buoyancy created when the body is displaced, or tipped, in the water. Metacenter is denoted by M symbol.

How to calculate Metacenter using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Metacenter, enter Moment of Inertia (I), Volume of Object (V_o), Centre of Gravity (G) & Centre of Buoyancy (B) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Metacenter calculation can be explained with given input values -> 16.99206 = 1.125/(54*0.021)-(-16).

FAQ

What is Metacenter?

Metacenter, also spelled metacenter, in fluid mechanics, the theoretical point at which an imaginary vertical line passing through the center of buoyancy and center of gravity intersects the imaginary vertical line through a new center of buoyancy created when the body is displaced, or tipped, in the water and is represented as M = I/(V_o*G)-B or Metacenter = Moment of Inertia/(Volume of Object*Centre of Gravity)-Centre of Buoyancy. Moment of Inertia is the measure of the resistance of a body to angular acceleration about a given axis, Volume of Object is the volume occupied by a submerged or floating object in a fluid, Centre of gravity of the object is the point through which gravitational force is acting & Centre of Buoyancy is the center of the gravity of the volume of water which a body displaces.

How to calculate Metacenter?

Metacenter, also spelled metacenter, in fluid mechanics, the theoretical point at which an imaginary vertical line passing through the center of buoyancy and center of gravity intersects the imaginary vertical line through a new center of buoyancy created when the body is displaced, or tipped, in the water is calculated using Metacenter = Moment of Inertia/(Volume of Object*Centre of Gravity)-Centre of Buoyancy. To calculate Metacenter, you need Moment of Inertia (I), Volume of Object (V_o), Centre of Gravity (G) & Centre of Buoyancy (B). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Moment of Inertia, Volume of Object, Centre of Gravity & Centre of Buoyancy and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
