All-right... The problem in our case was that the center of gravity, was measured with some insecurity. This affected, the point, at which we placed the weight, and therefore the metacenterheight became negative. Therfore the tilt angle became complex. The box had absolutely no problem with...

But... I tried to use the exact specifications of the box, and when I used it in the lab., it was obvious that it had a tilt degree of approx. 20 degrees. But according to you, It would have no list. But isn´t it so that the metacenter height, becomes more and more stable the longer the...

Problems with the formulae, in case the weight increases.. Hi again.. Allright, now I checked the angle 47, degrees, in a wave Laboratory, this seems correct. I wrote a MathLab program, that should be able to calculate this angle. The program gives me the right angle, but as I tried adding...

Thanks All right, my bad, didn´t realize the thing about positive stability.. Thanks

Okay, so far so good. I think I´ve got the Scribanti law covered now, but I can´t seem to understand how you conclude that the new metacentric height is NB = MB+1.70 = 2.99+1.70 = 4.69 cm where 1.70 = is MG = MB+BK-GK If I draw a box with the points, M, G, B, K and of course the new...

Thanks Thanks again Jepe. I think I´ve got it now.. :biggrin:

By the way... Do anyone know where I can get some sort of information about Scribanti´s law? I can´t figure out, why this formulae works?? :eek:

Thanks to everyone! Thanks Jepe, that´s exactly what I needed.. Super, know I can get on with my project. :smile:

Thanks for the answers, I have just realized that the measures that I gave you earlier, wasn´t in inches but in metric units. So my box, would be: W: 15.4 cm L:27.4 cm H:27 cm and the weigth 2796.5 grams The CoB was measured, to approximately 8 cm from the bottom of the box. I...

Does anyone know how to calculate the angle at which the box will tilt, if the center of mass is above the center of buoyancy? Suppose we have a box with the dimensions: W:15.4 inches L:27.4 inches H:27 inches With the weight 2796,5 grams Center of mass is 8 inches from the bottom of the...
