Answer» RIGHT choice is (a) METACENTER is above gravity The explanation: In case of a floating object, the metacenter should always be above gravity. Metacentre is the point about which a body starts oscillating when the body is tilted by a small angle. In the case of a floating body, the WEIGHT of an object is equal to the amount of fluid displaced. |
