The document provides a formula for calculating the force (F) of water, where F equals one-half times the specific weight (ɣw) of water times the height (h) squared. It then applies the formula to calculate a height (h) of 5.53 cm for a known water weight (W) of 1.528 kg. Finally, it sets up an equation to calculate the metacentric height (M+/M-) using various known values.
