  1. Stability – pp. 114-115/exercise 7 • A state of equilibrium • Because also too much stability is undesired • Balance (buoyancy and gravity must be equal) • If a body, subject to a small disturbance from a state of equilibrium tends to return to that state • If, following the disturbance, the equilibrium is reduced even more • When a body is immersed in a liquid, it will experience an upthrust that is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid • External influences (wind, waves, water properties: density, kinematic viscosity, salinity) and internal influences or the human factor (HF), which include the action of the rudder when the ship is maneuvered and loading and discharging cargoes. • Draft and trim. • Salinity and temperature. • Higher viscosity results in higher frictional resistance. • “The action of the rudder when a ship is maneuvering” is an example of HF.
