    The distance MG, i.e , the distance between metacentre of a floating body and the centre of gravity of a body is called Meta-centric height.

    Time period of oscillation:

    If a floating body oscillates then its time period of transverse oscillation is given by

    Calculation:

    Metacentric height = GM = 0.90 m

    Period of rolling = T = 20 sec.
