For a stable equilibrium of a submerged body (where, G and B are centres of gravity & buoyancy respectively) ?
Correct answer: B. B is above G
- A. G is above B
- B. B is above G
- C. B & G coincide
- D. None of these
Explanation
A fully submerged body is stable when its centre of buoyancy lies above its centre of gravity, so a small tilt produces a restoring couple. Thus B must be above G.
