Hi,
I am having a doubt with centre of buoyancy. I referred some books but still the doubt is not clarified.
Centre of buoyancy is the point where the mass of displaced water acts upon (upwards). When a steel part is completely immersed in sea water, the shape and volume of water displaced is same as that of the body. Hence the centre of buoyancy coincides with centre of gravity of the body? If so, there will be no tilting action takes place. Am I correct?
Thanks in advance,
