Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
The center of gravity of the fluid displaced by a floating body (as a ship or mobile, offshore drilling rig). 7, record 1, English, - center%20of%20buoyancy
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 DEF
A point through which passes the resultant of all upward forces and by which a floating ship is supported. 8, record 1, English, - center%20of%20buoyancy
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
For monohulls, there are two generic forms for these curves, depending roughly on whether the centre of gravity is above or below the centre of buoyancy. 9, record 1, English, - center%20of%20buoyancy
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
In vessels of ordinary form it is found that the distance of the center of buoyancy below the load waterline varies from 8/20 to 9/20 of the mean draft to top of keel. 4, record 1, English, - center%20of%20buoyancy

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
En fait, le centre de carène théorique (c.c.) situé au centre de la partie immergée de la coque lorsque le bateau au repos flotte à plat, se déplace vers l'extérieur chaque fois qu'une nouvelle section s'immerge à la gîte et supporte le poids. 5, record 1, French, - centre%20de%20car%C3%A8ne
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Théoriquement, la force de pesanteur s'exerce en un point appelé centre de gravité (CG) et la force de poussée en un autre point ou centre de poussée (CP). [...] En cas de gîte, le CP descend en suivant l'inclinaison et sa verticale se déplace du CG. 6, record 1, French, - centre%20de%20car%C3%A8ne
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 CONT
À chaque angle d'inclinaison il se forme un couple de redressement formé d'un côté par le poids du bateau agissant au centre de gravité et de l'autre par la poussée hydrostatique (égale au déplacement) et agissant au centre du volume immergé ou centre de carène. 3, record 1, French, - centre%20de%20car%C3%A8ne
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 4 CONT
La résultante des pressions hydrostatiques s'exerçant sur la carène d'un navire immobile est une poussée verticale, dirigée vers le haut, égale au déplacement et appliquée au centre de carène (principe d'Archimède). 7, record 1, French, - centre%20de%20car%C3%A8ne
