    Do you have a formula for VCG VCB LCG LCB and period of rolling?
    Need pls thesis purposes.
    It would be great if you have ebooks to share cause i've been researching those formulas but the net does'nt have them. (i think)
    Thx in advance

    Any naval architecture study book will do the job. For thesis YOU need to find them!

    Olav naval architect

    VCG = (∑mi * zi) / mtotal

    VCB = (∫z * A *dz) / V

    LCG = (∑mi * xi) / mtotal

    LCB = (∫x * A * dx) / V

    LCG = LCB for equilibrium

    A = sectional area
    mi = single mass
    mtotal = total mass = ∑mi
    V = displaced volume
    x = coordinate in longitudinal direction
    z = coordinate in vertical direction

    Concerning roll period you might want to have a look at this thread and make up your own opinion.

    Just out of curiosity: What subject do you study/write your thesis in? If it's anything along the lines of naval architecture I'd highly recommend to postpone your thesis and start it all over from the very beginning. These basics of hydrostatics are first year stuff.

    I don't want to be rude or offensive, but Olav already posted such formula:
