For submerged body:

Stable Equilibrium: Centre of gravity is below than the centre of buoyancy

Unstable Equilibrium: Centre of gravity is above than the centre of buoyancy

Neutral Equilibrium: Centre of gravity coincides with the centre of buoyancy

One should know what stable and unstable equilibrium is

Let us suppose that a body is given a small angular displacement and then released. Then the body will be said to be in

Stable Equilibrium:

If the body returns to its original position by retaining the originally vertical axis as vertical.

Unstable Equilibrium:

If the body does not return to its original position but moves further from it.
