e minimum stability of a ship corresponds to transverseinclinations; the maximum stability, to longitudinal inclinations.It is, therefore, of the greatest importance to thoroughly investigatethe changes in the statical stability of ships as they are heeled togreater and greater transverse… … Taking first transverse inclinations, let them be supposed to besmall; it is then easy to estimate the statical stability when the positionof the metaeentre is known. For our present purpose the metacentremay be defined, with sufficient exactitude, as the intersection (M in thecross-section, Fig.…
