1. metacenter

   A metacenter is a point of equilibrium in the physics of buoyancy of floating bodies, such as ships. It is the point at which a line drawn vertically upwards from the center of buoyancy when a vessel is at equilibrium intersects with a line drawn vertically upwards from the new center of buoyancy when the vessel is heeled or tilted. The position of the metacenter relative to the center of gravity determines the stability of the floating body.
