eng.metacentric-height Calculator
Calculates metacentric height (GM) for a floating vessel from waterplane area moment of inertia, displaced volume, and centre of buoyancy. Metacentric height must be positive for stable floating — GM below 0.15m for ships causes sluggish rolling; very high GM causes uncomfortably rapid rolling.
Inputs
Waterplane Area M2
Two-dimensional surface extent (m²). For complex shapes, break into simpler sub-shapes and sum.
Displacement M3
Net position change from start to end — a vector. Different from distance, which is the total path length.
Kg M
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Kb M
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results
GM metacentric height (m)
The computed height.
BM (m)
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
KB (m)
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
KG (m)
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
stability
Measure of how robust the system, structure, or process is to perturbations. Low stability means small changes can cause large deviations.
GM = KB + BM - KG
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
