Question:

Part 1. Consider the equation for the distance between the CP and the centroid of a submerged panel (Eq. (3.33)). In that equation, ycp is

a. The vertical distance from the water surface to the CP.

b. The slant distance from the water surface to the CP.

Part 2. Consider the figure shown. For case 1, the flat viewing window on the front of a submersible exploration vehicle is at a depth of y1. For case 2, the submersible has moved deeper in the ocean, to y2. As a result of this increased overall depth of the submersible and its window, does the spacing between the CP and centroid 

(a) Get larger, 

(b) Stay the same, or

(c) Get smaller?
