The document discusses the stability of fully and partially submerged bodies. It defines stability as a body's ability to right itself from a heeled position. It describes the center of buoyancy and gravity, and how their relationship determines if a body is in a stable, neutral, or unstable equilibrium. For fully submerged bodies, it states stability occurs when the center of gravity is below the centroid, and instability when it is above. For partially submerged or floating bodies, stability depends on the metacenter and metacenteric height.
