Description

The accessory includes two transparent floating bodies with different frame shapes (hard chine and round bilge). The floating bodies are used together with it and extend this device’s range of experiments.
The design of the floating bodies and the possible experiments are similar to those of it

Learning Objectives/Experiments
Comparison of two different frame shapes: hard chine and round bilge

Features
Stability of floating bodies with different frame shapes

Specification
Determination of the metacentre of 2 floating bodies with different frame shapes: hard chine, and round bilge
Each floating body fitted with a horizontally movable clamped weight for adjusting the heel
Each floating body fitted with a vertically movable clamped weight for adjusting the centre of gravity
Each floating body fitted with a clinometer with scale for displaying the heel

Technical data
