The unit can be used to study the stability of a floating body and to determine the metacenter graphically. In addition, the buoyancy of the floating body can also be determined. The experiment is conducted in a tank filled with water. A non-corrasion rectangular acrylic body is used as the floating body. Clamped weights that can be moved horizontally and vertically make it possible to adjust the center of gravity and the 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.
