SPECIFICATION

A ship model is allowed to float in a small tank having water. A strips 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 the angle of tilt can be 
measured on a graduated arc. For tilting the model, a cross bar with movable hangers 
is fixed on the model. Pendulum and graduated arc are suitably fixed at the center of 
the cross bar.
Range Of Experiments:

  • To determine the meta-centric height with angle of ship model.
  • To study force balances in a static system.

Technical:

  • Ship model: Size 300 x 150mm (approx) with a Horizontal Guide Bar for sliding weight.
  • Water Tank: Size 600 x 400 x 400 mm (approx). 
  • Front W indow of Tank: M ade of Glass/Perspex.
  • Tanks will be made of MS with FRP coating
  • A suitable set of weights is supplied with the apparatus
