(a) Show that the buoyant force FB on a partiallysubmerged

Chapter 13, Problem 13.37

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Show that the buoyant force FB on a partiallysubmerged object such as a ship acts at the center of gravityof the fluid before it is displaced. This point is called thecenter of buoyancy. (b) To ensure that a ship is in stableequilibrium, would it be better if its center of buoyancy wasabove, below, or at the same pointas, its center of gravity? Explain. Fh(See Fig. 13-52.)(a) Show that the buoyant force FB on a partiallysubmerged object such as a ship acts at the center of gravityof the fluid before it is displaced.
