STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Metacentric Height = Distance between COB and GOG-Distance between COB and COM
GM = BG-BM
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Metacentric Height - (Measured in Meter) - The Metacentric Height is the distance between the center of gravity and the metacenter, indicating the stability of floating bodies in fluid mechanics.
Distance between COB and GOG - (Measured in Meter) - The Distance between COB and GOG is the measurement of space between the center of buoyancy and the center of gravity in fluid mechanics applications.
Distance between COB and COM - (Measured in Meter) - The Distance between COB and COM is the measurement between the center of buoyancy and the center of mass in fluid mechanics, influencing stability and equilibrium of floating bodies.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Distance between COB and GOG: 25 Millimeter --> 0.025 Meter (Check conversion here)
Distance between COB and COM: 52.1 Millimeter --> 0.0521 Meter (Check conversion here)

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 COB and GOG-Distance between COB and COM to calculate the Metacentric Height, Unstable Equilibrium of Floating Body formula is defined as a concept that describes the condition where a floating object is in a state of equilibrium but is prone to tipping or overturning when disturbed. This principle is crucial in understanding the stability of floating structures and vessels. Metacentric Height is denoted by GM symbol.
