Why is it that maximum stability occurs when the metacenter is above the center of buoyancy?
metacentre is above centre of buoyancy to ensure the rightning lever or uprightning moment is in the same direct of the ships heeling that will tend to make the ship upright
Does the position of the Metacentre depend on the position of the centre of gravity?
yes. from curtin student
The resultant upthrust on a body partly immersed in liquid acts through?
the metacentre
What is center of stability and why must it be above a ship's center of gravity?
A ship's center of stability is known as the metacentre. If you add weight to the side of a ship the moment created will cause it will roll. There has to be a restoring moment otherwise the ship will capsize. This restoring moment is due to the change in the submerged volume, hence change in center of buoyancy. This acts at the 'center of stability' where BM(distance from center of buoyancy to metacenter) = Inertia/DisplacementPicture a model of a yacht with a large weight attached to the mast. Now move the weight onto the keel. Which one do you think has the best stability?
Are microwaves longitudinal or transverse?
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are therefore transverse waves.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
Are heat waves transverse or longitudinal?
No. Radiant heat is an electromagnetic wave, and EM waves are transverse waves.
What is metasentric height?
A centre of buoyancy is the centre of gravity of the water displaced by the hull at a given angle of heel. For small angles of heel, up to about 15o, the vertical lines through the centres of buoyancy intersect through a point known as the metacentre. The distance between the boat's centre of gravity and its metacentre is its metacentric height. For more on this topic you might consider the wikipedia article.
How does core stability relate to body mass index?
Core stability is a misunderstood term. Typically, the core is associated with the abdominal muscles groups and stability is associated with isometric or static strength. However in actuality, the core consists of the abdominal muscles groups (transverse abdominis, internal obliques, external obliques, rectus abdominis), hip abductors/ adductors, hip flexors, and lumbar spine. In addition, it is lumbar spine that is primarily responsible for posture and stability providing the strength needed for stability especially utilized in dynamic sports.
Light travels as a longitudal wave?
No, light is a transverse wave.No, light is a transverse wave.No, light is a transverse wave.No, light is a transverse wave.
Is light a transverse or longitudinal wave?
Light is transverse in nature.
What is the name of the plane that divides the body into upper and lower sections?
horizontal plane
