early fixed in position. Example of the general case. Consider two floats A and B, Figs. 120 and 121,connected rigidly together by a beam. This arrangement is similar to the style ofboat called a catamaran, and when it is in equilibrium the center of mass m and thecenter of buoyancy b are located… … arrangement behaves, for slight angles of tilting, as if its center of buoyancy were fixed inthe line ma at the place B where the line ma is cut by the vertical line be in Fig. 121,because the line of action of the buoyant force passes through the point B for any smallangle of tilling. The point B…
