DESCRIPTION:
A pontoon is allowed to float in a small tank having a transparent side. Removable steel strips placed in the model for the purpose of changing the weight of the model. Displacement of weight is measured with the help of a scale. By means of a pendulum (consisting of a weight suspended to a long pointer) the angle of tilt can be measured on a graduated arc.
For tilting the ship model, a cross bar with movable hanger is fixed on the model. Pendulum and graduated arc are suitably fixed at the center of the cross bar. A set of weights is supplied with the apparatus.
EXPERIMENTATION:
- Determination of the metacentric height and position of the metacentric height with angle of heel of ship model.
UTILITIES REQUIRED:
- Water Supply : Initial Fill
- Floor Area 1 m x 0.6 m.
- Drain required.
