This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Centre of Gravity - Centre of gravity of the object is the point through which gravitational force is acting.
Moment of Inertia - (Measured in Kilogram Square Meter) - Moment of Inertia is the measure of the resistance of a body to angular acceleration about a given axis.
Volume of Object - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Object is the volume occupied by a submerged or floating object in a fluid.
Centre of Buoyancy - Centre of Buoyancy is the center of the gravity of the volume of water which a body displaces.
Metacenter - Metacenter is denoted by Mcenter symbol.
