STABILITY OF FLOATING BODIES

The variety of floating bodies within this module allows the determination of the metacentre – a midway point between a ship's centre of buoyancy when upright and its centre of buoyancy when tilted. This standalone module contains 3 separate water tanks into which the 3 supplied models can be floated and tested individually but also simultaneously. The tanks and hulls are transparent to aid observation. Learn about STABILITY OF FLOATING BODIES hydraulics-bench India for optimal educational outcomes.. The model boat hulls are supplied with a flat bottom, curved and triangular form. A central mast supports a movable sliding weight, with a scale engraved on its surface to allow quick and accurate measurement of the weight's position and adjustment of the centre of gravity.

The horizontal jockey weight is mounted on a threaded shaft where one turn equates to one millimetre of movement, marked accordingly for ease of measurement.
