HM 150.06

Stability of a Floating Body

Technical Description

This simple apparatus for determining the metacentre of a model hull is particularly suitable for experiments in small groups. The experiments are performed in a tank filled with water. A transparent hull is used with a rectangular cross-section. Horizontal and vertical sliding weights enable the centre of gravity to be adjusted. The position of the sliding weights as well as the draught of the floating body can be read on scales. An inclinometer indicates the angle of heel.

Learning Objectives / Experiments

Investigation and determination of:
· Buoyancy, centre of buoyancy
· Centre of gravity, metacentre, stability
· Angle of heel
