When inclined as in the diagram,WL is the water-line, WXL the volume of displacement, and Bthe corresponding centre of buoyancy. Since the displacementremains constant, the volumes WXL… … usually stated, the iveclge of immersion LSLi must equal theloedge of emersion WiS\Y. In other words, the inclination ofthe vessel has produced a change in the form of the displacementequivalent to a transfer of the wedge WSWi to the equal, butdifferently shaped, wedge LSLi. This is obviously a…
