Center of gravity
5
What is the definition of the Centre of Buoyancy?
Buoyancy is an upward force equal on a floating object equal to the weight of water displaced by it
6
What is the definition of the Centre of Gravity?
A point on the vessel where the forces of gravity act vertically downwards

14
Is the weight of water that displaces when it is floating, which in term is the weight of a ship (and its contents).
Displacement

"Whenever a body is inundated in a liquid either entirely or to some degree, it is lightened or lifted by a power which is equivalent to the heaviness of liquid dislodged by the body". This standard was articulated by
Archimedes
18
What is the result of a 'high metacentric height'?
The vessel will roll violently
19
This table is found in the Stability manual onboard the vessel
Hydrostatic Table
20
How are ship's stability characteristics affected by Parametric Rolling?
By the constant change of underwater hull geometry as waves travel past the ship
21
Which of the following best describes permeability in relation to damaged stability on ships?
The rate at which water can flow through openings or damaged areas of a ship
22

23
Buoyant Force is equal to
weight of the liquid displaced by the body
