प्रश्न
A homogeneous block floats on water (a) partly immersed (b) completely immersed. In each case state the position of centre of buoyancy B with respect to the centre of gravity G of the block.
उत्तर
When the body is partially immersed, its centre of buoyancy will be below the centre of gravity of the block.
When the body is completely immersed, its centre of buoyancy will coincide the centre of gravity.
