Metacentric height = I/V-BG, so the height of metacenter above B will be I/V.

BM=MOI(min)/volume(displaced),
So that
The height of metacenter will be I/V.
So that
The height of metacenter will be I/V.

If the metacentre is above the centre of gravity, buoyancy restores stability when the ship tilts. The stability increases with the distance between metacentre and centre of gravity called the metacentric height. If the metacentre is below the centre of gravity, the boat is unstable, and a tilt results in capsizing.
