Where T is the draft of the buoy, IT is the waterplane moment of inertia and H is the
height of the buoy. Lifting force of the buoyancy is equal to the weight of the buoy:

Waterplane area of the buoy is circular, so the moment of inertia can be calculated
with following equation:

2. If the ship has N number of tanks, the combined free surface effect to the
metacenric height can be calculated with following equation:

We look at three different cases based on the figure below. Length of the tanks is
always lj = 20 m. All the tanks contain ballast water, therefore,

Having neglected the rudder forces, for the equilibrium the hydrodynamic reaction
and the centrifugal force have the same magnitude.
