Information about Instantaneous Stability
In naval architecture, instantaneous stability is a measure of how a vessel's buoyancy is distributed. Also known as Intact Stability. Stability is measured by metacentric height.
Naval architecture is an engineering discipline dealing with the design, construction and repair of marine vehicles.
Due to the complexity associated with operating in a marine environment naval architecture is by necessity a co-operative effort between groups of technically

In physics, buoyancy is the upward force on an object produced by the surrounding fluid (i.e., a liquid or a gas) in which it is fully, or partially immersed, due to the pressure difference of the fluid between the top and bottom of the object.
