mmersions. The stability is measuredby the arm of the couple formed by the upward force of buoyancy and theweight of the vessel acting downwards through the centre of gravity. It isnot possible to set the integrator with the axis passing through the actualcentre of gravity, as this is a variable… … Axis fob Mqmgmts Fig. 14. Having not passing through the centre of gravity is very easily made,obtained a series of values of the stability arm for a given displacementand condition of loading, they are plotted on a base of angle of inclination.A typical stability curve is indicated in fig. 15.…
