User:ChrysalSnowlax/Hydrostatic properties

Hydrostatics is the branch of naval architecture which deals with the conditions under which a vessel is subjected to while at rest in water and its ability to remain afloat. The parameters that determine the conditions of the vessel are called hydrostatic properties.

List of main hydrostatic properties

 * Volume Displacement
 * Mass Displacement
 * Block Coefficient
 * Tonnes per centimetre immersion (TPC)
 * Moment to Change Trim by 1 cm (MCT 1 cm)
 * Longitudinal Center of Buoyancy
 * Longitudinal Center of Floatation
 * Vertical Center of Buoyancy
 * Transverse Metacenter
 * Water Plane Area
 * Prismatic Coefficient
 * Waterplane Area Coefficient
 * Midship Sectional Area Coefficient
