COMPLETE EXPRESSIONS FOR THE GRAVITATIONAL AND BUOYANCY FORCE TERMS IN THE EQUATIONS OF MOTION OF A SUBMERGED BODY

Abstract

Complete expressions are given for the forces and moments acting on a submerged body because of gravitational attraction on the mass of the body and buoyancy force acting on the body boundary. The variations of the forces and moments with changes in angular attitude of the body are discussed in detail. The relationship of these variations to the phenomenon of metacentric stability is described.
