About This Product
The metacentric height shows how stable a floating body is. In this experiment the vessel floats in water and weights are moved on the bridge to tilt it, while the circular arc gives the angle of inclination in degrees. Students use the weight, its shift and the angle to work out the metacentric height. The result is related to the stability of ships and other floating structures in fluid mechanics lessons.
