Didactic Apparatus For Studying The Stability Of A Floating Body
Categories:
Fluid Mechanics Teaching Equipment
Technical Specifications
A training device for studying the stability of a floating body for determining the stability of a pontoon whose center of gravity, metacentric height and meta centre can be adjusted to different heights.
This teaching equipment makes it possible to carry out the following practical exercises:
Comparison between experimental measurements and theory
Calculation of the angle of lodging according to the position of the center of gravity
Study of the influence of the height of the center of gravity
Study of the influence of the horizontal position of the center of gravity
Research on the behavior of a partially sunk ship.
Technical specifications:
The device will study the stability of a body like a floating boat at the free surface of a liquid.
It will make it possible to study the stability of a pontoon according to the height and the horizontal position of its center of gravity.
Useful height of the mast: 266 mm
Pontoon moving weight: 200 g
Adjustable mast weight: 500 g
1 molded plastic water tank 610 x 406 x 127 mm
1 thin sheet metal pontoon, of rectangular section, weighted and equipped with a mast
Graduation by 1/2 degree
1 lead wire connected to a mast
Angle of inclination: 8 ° on each side of the vertical
Dimensions: 356 x 203 x 76 mm.
