प्रश्न
Explain why a ship loaded with light goods is more liable to be overturned than the one loaded with heavy goods.
उत्तर
A ship loaded with light goods is more liable to be overturned than the one loaded with heavy goods. This is because the CG in the former case is high and so a slight displacement due to water current may cause the vertical line passing through the CG to fall outside the base, thereby overturning the ship.
