Discussion Forum : UPSC Civil Service Exam Questions - Section 18 (Q.No. 43)
43.
Consider the following statements relating to the stability of floating as well as submerged bodies :
1. A submerged body is stable when the centre of gravity is below the centre of buoyancy.
2. A floating body is stable when the centre of gravity is above the centre of buoyancy.
3. A floating body is stable when the centre of gravity is below the metacentre.
4. A submerged body is in stable equilibrium when the centre of gravity coincides with the centre of buoyancy.
Of these statements :
1. A submerged body is stable when the centre of gravity is below the centre of buoyancy.
2. A floating body is stable when the centre of gravity is above the centre of buoyancy.
3. A floating body is stable when the centre of gravity is below the metacentre.
4. A submerged body is in stable equilibrium when the centre of gravity coincides with the centre of buoyancy.
Of these statements :

For the stability of the floating body :
The metacentre must be above the Centre of gravity not centre of buoyancy.
Here option 2 talks about the centre of buoyancy instead of the metacentre so it's wrong.
The correct option is D.
The metacentre must be above the Centre of gravity not centre of buoyancy.
Here option 2 talks about the centre of buoyancy instead of the metacentre so it's wrong.
The correct option is D.
