Basic Metacentric Height Apparatus
Description of Basic Metacentric Height Apparatus:
The equipment consists of a plastic rectangular floating pontoon, whose centre of gravity can be varied by an adjustable weight, which slides and can be clamped in any position on a vertical mast.A single plumb-bob is suspended from the mast, which indicates the angle of heel on a calibrated scale.A weight with lateral adjustment enables the degree of heel to be varied and hence the stability of the pontoon determined.The equipment does not require a separate water tank as it may be used on the Hydraulics Bench by filling the volumetric tank.
