When the center <strong>of</strong> gravity G <strong>of</strong> an immersed<br />
neutrally buoyant body is not vertically aligned<br />
with the center <strong>of</strong> buoyancy B <strong>of</strong> the body, it is not<br />
in an equilibrium state and would rotate to its<br />
stable state, even without any disturbance.<br />
A ball in a trough<br />
between two hills is<br />
stable for small<br />
disturbances, but<br />
unstable for large<br />
disturbances.<br />
