What is the centre of buoyancy? State its position for a floating body with respect to the centre of gravity of the body.

उत्तर
Centre of buoyancy: It is the point through which the resultant of the buoyancy forces on a submerged body act; it coincides with the centre of gravity of the displaced liquid, if the body is completely immersed.
For a floating body with its part submerged in the liquid, the centre of buoyancy is at the centre of gravity of the submerged part of the body and it lies vertically below the centre of gravity of the entire body.
