Definition that contains center of gravity
- squat having a low center of gravity; built low to the ground
- perpendicular a cord from which a metal weight is suspended pointing directly to the earth's center of gravity; used to determine the vertical from a given point
- underslung having a low center of gravity; built low to the ground
- metacenter (shipbuilding) the point of intersection between two vertical lines, one line through the center of buoyancy of the hull of a ship in equilibrium and the other line through the center of buoyancy of the hull when the ship is inclined to one side; the distance of this intersection above the center of gravity is an indication of the stability of the ship
- center of flotation the center of gravity of a floating object
- centre of flotation the center of gravity of a floating object
- plumb line a cord from which a metal weight is suspended pointing directly to the earth's center of gravity; used to determine the vertical from a given point
- metacentre (shipbuilding) the point of intersection between two vertical lines, one line through the center of buoyancy of the hull of a ship in equilibrium and the other line through the center of buoyancy of the hull when the ship is inclined to one side; the distance of this intersection above the center of gravity is an indication of the stability of the ship
