Metacentric Height Apparatus.
Metacentric Height Apparatus
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 two
movable hangers 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
Experiments
