🔍 Key Concepts

• Buoyancy acts through the center of the underwater (submerged) volume, not the whole ship • The center of buoyancy is the point where the total buoyant force can be considered to act • Think about how the submerged shape changes as a vessel heels or trims

💭 Think About

• Which option talks about the center of the displaced water volume, not just the surface or the ship as a whole? • If you took only the underwater part of the hull and imagined it as a solid block, where would the upward force act? • How is the center of buoyancy related to the line of action of the buoyant force when the ship is upright?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the choice you pick refers to the submerged (displaced) volume, not the waterplane or entire vessel • Confirm the description matches a single point through which the buoyant force acts • Eliminate any option that focuses on center of gravity instead of center of buoyancy
