The righting couple of the wedges of immersion and emersion will be

[Sigma]wy dA tan [theta]·y = w tan [theta] [Sigma] y² dA

= w tan [theta]·Ak² ft. tons, (4)

w denoting the density of water in tons/ft.³, and W = wV, for a

displacement of V ft.³

This couple, combined with the original buoyancy W through B, is

equivalent to the new buoyancy through B, so that
