The reasons for this added stability are: (i) It increases the metacentric height GM by increasing the height of metacenter M. (ii) It increases the metacentric radius BM. It enables a large shift of the centre of buoyancy B laterally to produce a strong restoring moment when it is tilted. (A) (i) and (ii) (B) (ii) and (iii) (C) (i) and (iii) (D) All of the above In flow of air past an aerofoil with velocity U, a viscous boundary layer is formed arising from the viscous effect on the surface of the aerofoil.
