Description

The FLO 010 unit can be used to study the stability of a floating body and to determine the metacentre graphically. In addition, the buoyancy of the floating body can also be determined. The experiment is easy to set up and is particularly suitable for practical work in small groups. The experiment is conducted in a tank filled with water. A transparent body with a rectangular frame cross-section is used as the floating body. Clamped weights that can be moved horizontally and vertically make it possible to adjust the centre of gravity and the heel.  
The position of the clamped weights can be read on scales. A clinometer indicates the heel.The robust design of this device makes it suitable for use in schools.
The equipment is set up on an steel coated frame. This gives it great strength and a flexibility of integration into your laboratory.
The manufacture of this equipment complies with the European standard for machinery manufacturing.
