METACENTRIC HEIGHT APPARATUS Model FM 08A
METACENTRIC HEIGHT APPARATUS Model FM 08A
Sci-tech Metacentric Height Apparatus Model FM 08A demonstrates the metacentric height of a floating body and the height variation is used with Hydraulic Bench Model MH100 or a separately supplied bowl. The equipment consists of a rectangular pontoon. The centre of gravilty of the pontoon can be moved sideways by moving horizontal jockey weight. The angle of the tilt of the pontoon is indicated by a plumb bob on a scale attached. The centre of gravity of the pontoon can also be moved vertically by means of adjustable vertical weights on the mast.
