Oga both stable and unstable all float on 1 principle.. Look at your headline from op"how does a rig stay afloat on water? " not how does it stay fixed on a plaves.. My answer is to the floating if op want how is stays firm without drift then he must make that clear.. This is how you guys fail exam..
oga pls lean I am not disputing principal of float but to achieve stable equilibrium of an object on water it need to be chained. If not chain it can never be stabled bcs the Ocean it not stable. The law of floating that works for the Marines and ships that doesn't stagnant on the ocean can not work for Rig that stay stagnant which need to be chained to the bottom of an Ocean before you can achieve stability.

Did u not see my support for the other commentator who said it is chained to the ground and also ships use same principle with the anchors in harbours

By the way, your criticism of the black race doesn't exclude you.
You can't even find something invented by a Black man even if na American..........

Those things you listed were still invented by white people not minding that the blacks that invented something did so with the foundation laid by whites.

Africa need to rise let's stop playing the ostrich..........

I never said black man didn't invent anything just that the poster was lazy in his research.

Even the black man you posted was still an American. You couldn't even get someone from Africa. Shame! Even ordinary car engine that has been in existence for more than 130 years we still haven't learnt how to produce it.

Oga leave talk because I'm Black doesn't mean I shouldn't speak the truth when I see one. We are inferior in terms of technology.

CodeWithRemi:
what sort of machine is used to push those "legs" into the ground?

Considering the theory that the depth of the ocean is thousands of feets deep, how does the "rods" get maintained and able to withstand waves?

I'm sorry I'm asking questions that seems like I a kid. I'm curious about this topic.
This answers your questions perfectly.

Thank God for the principles of physics. Those men did a lot for the world.

The floating.. Achiemedes principle A body totally or partially submerge in experiences a Force equal to the volume of fluid it displaces and law of flotation .. A body displaces its own weight in a liquid in which it floats.. Physics class for King's college that year.. Floreat.. God bless Mr Raji and one man like that i have forgot his name SS1 physics teacher igbo man fair... Thank you for your impact..
