I — Horizontal distance of centre of gravity of floating body C from metacentral line. f = Distance of C from metacentre M. g = Distance of c from nietacentre M. e = Distance of C fi om c. V — Angle of careen. A — A rea of displacement. a =: Area immersi <1 or emerged by careening at angle V* k — Horizontal distance apart of the centres of gravity of the sections immersed and emerged by careening. l ak d ,, d~~X’ 0= süT7; z = d±«sin-v; f=g±e-, Stability of vessel = AV/sin. V. * Supposing the two sections ore equal.
