Since FB= W;
FB This is the moment caused by the movement of Center of Buoyancy from (B) to (B1)
Weight of the wedge AOA1(which emerges out)=Weight of the wedge DOD1(that was
submerged)
Let (l) and (b) be the length and breadth of the object. .
= (w/2)(b/2)(b/2)(tanθ)(l)
There exists a buoyant force dFB upwards on the wedge (ODD1) and dFB downwards on
the wedge (OAA1) each at a distance of (2/3)(b/2)=(b/3) from the center.
