Abstract
The effect of an oscillating bottom area on a floating dock, simulated by a lamina, is studied by the method of [1]. It is demonstrated that the overturning moment acting on the dock from the direction of the liquid will be maximal at certain parameter values which characterize the location of the perturbed bottom region and the depth of the basin.
