METACENTRIC HEIGHT AND STABILITY

A bench mounted apparatus to determine the stability of a pontoon with its centre of gravity, metacentric height, and metacentre at various heights.

Determination and analysis of the stability of floating bodies, such as ships, rafts and pontoons, is important throughout many branches of engineering. This experiment allows students to determine the stability of a pontoon with its centre of gravity at various heights. They can then compare this to predictions calculated from theory. Learn about METACENTRIC HEIGHT AND STABILITY for educational labs for optimal educational outcomes.. The experiment consists of a rectangular pontoon floating in water. Plastic materials and corrosion-resistant finishes throughout the equipment give the fullest possible protection against corrosion.
