Physics
Upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.
Buoyancy
Main body of a floating vessel, such as a boat or ship.
Hull
Load Capacity
The volume of fluid that is moved out of the way when an object is placed in it.
Displacement
The level reached by the water on the side of the boat's hull.
Waterline
The total area that the surface of an object occupies
Surface area
The ratio of mass to volume
Density
The specific, often theoretical, point on an object or body where the total sum of the gravitational force is concentrated and acts, effectively serving as its balance point
Center of gravity (CoG)
The amount of space a 3D object occupies, or the capacity an object has to contain something.
Volume
Downward force pulling an object to the center of the Earth.
Gravity
Center of the underwater shape of a floating vessel. The point where the upward force of water acts.
Center of Buoyancy (CB)
Draft
_____?_____= Mass/Volume
Density
When the Center of Gravity moves outside a boat's "base", this happens...
Capsize
They design, build, and maintain ships, submarines, and marine structures, combining mechanical, electrical, and structural engineering to ensure vessel safety, efficiency, and operational readiness.
