2. Definition
Stability refers to the ability of a ship to right itself from a heeled position. A floating or submerged body is
said to be stable at its position, if it returns to that position following a small disturbance.

3. Centre Of Buoyancy And Stability
Center of gravity refers to the
mean location of the
gravitational force acting on a
body.
The Buoyancy Force act
through the Centre of Gravity
of the Displaced Fluid and is
called The Centre of Buoyancy

4. Types of
Equilibrium
• Stable: The body returns
to it's original position if
given a small angular
displacement.
• Neutral: The body
remains in a new position
if given a small angular
displacement.
• Unstable: The body heals
further over if given a
small angular
displacement.
