Basic Metacentric Height
Description & Specification
The position of the met centre can be varied to produce stable and unstable equilibrium. 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.
DEMONSTRATION CAPABILITIES:-
Determining the centre of gravity of the pontoon
Determining the met centric height and from this the position of the met centre for the pontoon
Varying the met centric height with angle of heel
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:-
Rectangular floating pontoon with mast
Variable centre of gravity via moveable weights (transverse and vertical)
Clinometers indicates angle of heel
Educational software available as an option
Max angle of heel: ±13°
Corresponding linear dimension: ±90 mm
