Equipment for Engineering Education & ResearchSOLTEQ®

MODEL: FM 43

HIS Metacentric Height (Model : FM 43) allows a thorough investigation of the factors affecting the

stability of a floating body.

EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES

♦ determining the centre of gravity of the pontoon

♦ determining the metacentric height and fromth i s

the position of the metacentre for the pontoon

♦ varying the metacentric height with angle of heel

DESCRIPTION

On this item 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 allows 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 volumentric tank.
