    The document provides two examples of calculating the metacentric height of objects floating in water. The first example calculates the metacentric height of a wooden block measuring 2m x 1m x 0.8m with a specific gravity of 0.7. The second example calculates the metacentric height of a solid cylinder with a diameter of 4m and height of 4m, with a specific gravity of 0.7.

    Q.1 A Block of Wood of Specific Gravity 0.7
    floats in water. Determine the Meta centric
    height of the block if its size is 2 m × 1 m ×
    0.8 m.

    Data given:

    Length of the Body, L = 2 m


    Width of the body, B = 1 m
    Height of the body, H = 0.8 m
    2m
    Specific Gravity of the body, SB = 0.7
    Metacentric Height GM = ?
    1m
    Numerical to calculate Metacentric Height
    Answer:

    Density of the Body, ρ = 0.7 * 1000 = 700 kg/m3

    Surface area of the Body, A = L × B = 2 × 1 = 2 m2

    Step 1: Find height of submerge body.

    Weight of Body = Weight of Water displaced

    ρB × g × A × H = ρW × g × A × h

    ρB × H = ρw × h

    h = ρB / ρw × H = 700/1000 × 0.8 = 0.56 m


    Numerical to calculate Metacentric Height
    Answer:

    Step 2: Volume of the Submerge Body

    Volume of submerged body, V = A × h


    = 2 × 0.56
    = 1.12 m3

    Step 3: Distance between Point B And G.


    O

    BG = OG – OB
    = H/2 - h/2
    = 0.8/2 - 0.56/2
    = 0.4 – 0.28
    = 0.12 m

    Numerical to calculate Metacentric Height
    Answer:

    Step 5: Calculate Metacentric height

    GM = I/V – BG

    = (0.1666/1.2) - 0.12

    = 0.1388 – 0.12

    GM = 0.01888 m

    Value of Metacentric height is greater than 0.


    Means GM > 0
    So we can say that body will be in stable equilibrium.

    Q.2 A Solid Cylinder of Diameter 4 has a
    height of 4m. Find the metacentric height of
    the cylinder if the specific gravity of the
    material cylinder is 0.7 and it is floating in
    water with its axis vertical. State whether
    the equilibrium is stable or unstable

    Data given:

    Diameter of cylinder D = 4 m
    Height of the cylinder H = 4 m
    Specific Gravity of the body, SB = 0.7 4m
    Metacentric Height GM = ?
    Numerical to calculate Metacentric Height
    Answer:
    Density of the Body, ρ = 0.7 * 1000 = 700 kg/m3

    Surface area of the Body, A = pi * d 2 / 4


    = 3.14 × 4^2 /4
    = 12.56 m2
    Step 1: Find height of submerge body.

    Weight of Body = Weight of Water displaced

    ρB × g × A × H = ρW × g × A × h

    ρB × H = ρw × h

    h = ρB / ρw × H = 700/1000 × 4 = 2.8 m
    Numerical to calculate Metacentric Height
    Answer:

    Step 2: Volume of the Submerge Body

    Volume of submerged body, V = A × h


    = 12.56 × 2.8
    = 35.18 m3

    Step 3: Distance between Point B And G.


    O

    BG = OG – OB
    = H/2 - h/2
    = 4/2 - 2.8/2
    = 2 – 1.4
    = 0.6 m
    Numerical to calculate Metacentric Height
    Answer:

    Step 4: find Moment of inertia of plan of the body


    about y-y

    I = pi/64 * D^4

    = 3.14* 4^4 / 64

    = 12.56 m^4

    4m
    Numerical to calculate Metacentric Height
    Answer:

    Step 5: Calculate Metacentric height

    GM = I/V – BG

    = (12.56/35.168) - 0.6

    = 0.3571 – 0.6

    GM = -0.242 m

    Value of Metacentric height is Less than 0.


    Means GM < 0
    So we can say that body will be in unstable equilibrium.
