There are 3 conditions of equilibrium for floating bodies.
Stable Equilibrium.
Unstable Equilibrium.
Neutral Equilibrium.
1.Stable Equilibrium for Floating Bodies:
If a floating body is given a small angular displacement (disturbing moment) and after the removal of that Force or moment, body comes back to its original position. It is called as Stable Equilibrium.
2.Unstable Equilibrium for Floating Bodies:
If a floating body is given a small angular displacement (disturbing moment) and after the removal of that Force or moment, body does not come back to its original position. It is called as UnStable Equilibrium.
3.Neutral Equilibrium for floating bodies:
If a body in water or any liquid is given a slight angular displacement, it will neither rotates nor goes to the original position but attains a new position . This type of Equilibrium is known as Neutral Equilibrium.

When its floating and coming back to its original position? I didn't get the question some one help me out.
