wn-wards through m; (iii.) W—P, the remaining weight of the vessel, acting vertically downwards through H, the C.G. of the rigid part of the vessel; and p WITH LIQUID CARGO. 175 The equilibrium will be stable or unstable accordingto the direction of the couple which is the resultant ofthese three… … Fig. 43. 120. Otherwise, the resultant of the parallel forces ofW—P tons acting through H, and of P tons actingthrough m, is a force of W tons which cuts OM at apoint 0, such that W.QG=P.Gm+{W-P)OH= P(Gm+Oh)=P.bm;and OM may be taken as the metacentric height, whichis less than GM by GG or (P/W)bm,…
