A stationary object is fully submerged in a static fluid, as shown in the figure. Here, CG and CB stand for center of gravity and center of buoyancy, respectively. Which one(s) among the following statements is/are true?
- A. The object is in stable equilibrium if π¦πΆπΊ> π¦πΆπ΅.
- B. The object is in stable equilibrium if π¦πΆπΊ< π¦πΆπ΅.
- C. The object is in neutral equilibrium if π¦πΆπΊ= π¦πΆπ΅.
- D. The object is in unstable equilibrium if π¦πΆπΊ= π¦πΆπ΅.
Answer: A. The object is in stable equilibrium if π¦πΆπΊ> π¦πΆπ΅.; C. The object is in neutral equilibrium if π¦πΆπΊ= π¦πΆπ΅.
