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 10 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 - Determination of the Metacentric height and position of the Metacentric height with angle of heel of ship model.
