ntre.Also if afterwards 200 tons of cargois lifted 6 feet in the ship, findthe righting moment at 6 degs of heel. The first meta-centre height works outto 1*19 feet. And the effect of lifting 200tons 6 ft., is to raise the centre of gravity•666 ft., thus reducing the meta-centre heightby that… … Fig. 100. STABILITY. 26t vertically downwards through the centre of gravity C, the buoyancyof the water acts vertically upwards through M. These equalforces form a couple with arm or leverage CR, and C R .—— = Sine of inclinationCM .. CR = 524 X Sine 6 degs. = 0547 ft. The righting moment is 1800 x…
