The paper studies vertical oscillations of the center of gravity of a solid body floating on the surface of a heavy liquid.

The author gives a general formula for determining the ordinate of the body’s center of gravity as a function of time and obtains from it an asymptotic formula that has greater force for large values of time. The problem being solved is the simplest problem in the hydrodynamic theory of the rolling of ships.
