Category: General Lab Equipment IV
Max. Angle of heel : ±13 degree Corresponding linear dimension : ± 90mm Pontoon dimensions : length 350mm Width : 200mm
DESCRIPTION:
The position of the metacentre can be varied to produce stable and unstable equilibrium. The equipment consists of a plastic rectangular floating pontoon, the centre of gravity of which 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.
