Determination and analysis of the stability of floating bodies, such as ships, rafts and pontoons, is important throughout many branches of engineering.
The experiment consists of a rectangular pontoon floating in water.
A clinometer pointer hangs at the top of the sail where it can freely rotate.
The pontoon has a plastic sail with fi ve rows of slots.
These rows are at equally spaced heights on the sail.
The slots are equally spaced around the centre line.
Along with an inclusive scale on the sail the tilt angle is clearly indicated.
Students can easily trim the pontoon using a small weight attached to he sail.
Plastic materials and corrosion-resistant finishes throughout the equipment give the fullest possible protection against corrosion.
To change the centre of gravity and the tilt (list) angle of the pontoon, students fit an adjustable weight into one of the slots.
