This line passes through the center of gravity G, andmakes an angle of 30 degrees with the centerline.… … FIG. 18. in fig. 18. Suppose the righting arm about an axis A C is found to beC B. Nov, if the center of gravity is at G, the true righting arm will be G Br=C B+G C =C B+G A sine that is, if the center of gravity is below the intersection of the axis withthe centerline, we must add to the arm as…
