General Description

The Metacentric Height Demostration of a "U" Shaped Floating Object, "FME11-B", designed by EDIBON, allows the study of the stability of a floating object by calculating its metacentric height starting from a U-shaped floating body.

The unit consists of a floating methacrylate body with a vertical mast placed on it. An adjustable mobile mass has been added to alter the position of the center of gravity.

The base of the floating body is "U" shaped, simulating one of the different frame cross-sections of a boat.

A weight that can be horizontally and vertically displaced allows for modification of the floating base heel.

A plumb bob, attached to the upper part of the mast, is used to measure the angle of heel of the floating base with the aid of a graduated scale.
