Description

This system enables investigation of the metacenter position and stability characteristics of model hulls under various loading and weight distribution conditions. A transparent model hull with rectangular cross-section, mounted in a water tank, allows clear visualization of the stability behavior. Sliding weights permit adjustment of the center of gravity, while scales and inclinometers provide precise measurements of draft and heel angles.
