Metacentric Height Apparatus

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14007

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Metacentric Height Apparatus (Product ID: 14007) as part of its Civil Engineering Lab Equipment range. It finds the metacentric height of a floating pontoon by the inclining experiment.

Quick Answer

A pontoon about 300 x 300 mm floats in a 550 x 500 x 400 mm tank with a glass or Perspex front window. Moving a weight along its horizontal guide bar tilts it, and a pendulum pointer on a graduated arc reads the angle. Removable strips change the displacement. GM is found from GM = w x / (W tan θ).
