What will happen if the upper part of a ship is made heavier than its lower part? |
| Answer» Solution :If the upper PART of a ship is made heavier than its lower part, then the CENTRE of gravity of the ship lies above the centre of gravity of the water displaced by the ship. As a result, if the ship is tilted a LITTLE, then, due to the couple that DEVELOPS due to the weight of the ship and the buoyant force, the ship tilts more and HENCE it may turn over. | |
