METACENTRIC HEIGHT APPARATUS

A pontoon is allowed to float in a small tank having a transparent side, Removable Steel Strips are 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
