Question

Which of the following is NOT a term used for equilibrium of floating and submerged bodies?

• A. Centre of gravity
• B. Centre of buoyancy
• C. Momentum point
• D. Metacentre

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Momentum point

Moment point is not a term used for equilibrium of floating and submerged bodies. The equilibrium of floating and submerged bodies is governed by the metacenter and the relative positions of the center of buoyancy and gravity. Metacenter is the point where buoyancy and normal axis meet when the body is tilted.
