(Of meta - and Center).
1. m. A floating symmetric body, point to the vertical passing through the center of thrust of the waters cut, when one leans a little to the direction that takes in such a case the line passing through the centres of gravity and pressure, and which was vertically when the body was at rest and adrizado. When the metacentro is higher than the center of gravity, the equilibrium is stable.
