Metacentric Height
This equipment is designed to determine the metacentric height of a floating body and the height variation with the tilt angle. It is to be used with Hydraulics Bench i.e. HB100 or HB100N or a bowl (separately supplied).
The equipment consists of a rectangular pontoon. The center of gravity of the pontoon can be moved sideways by moving horizontal jockey weight.
The angle of tilt of the pontoon is indicated by a plumb-bob on a scale attached. The center of gravity of the pontoon can also be moved vertically by means of adjustable vertical weights on the mast.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
- Experiment to illustrate the floatation characteristics
- Determination of the Metacentric Height

Hydraulic Studies and AccessoriesHydraulic Bench – Gravimetric
This is a service unit which provides water supply and gravimetric measurement for use in conjunction with other accessories for specific experiments (separately supplied).
The bench top is flat fiber glass with a raised edge to hold spilled water and has a quick coupling water outlet, water discharge tube as well as 4 drain holes. The experiment accessories on the bench top discharges water to the measuring tank via a tube. A measuring tank is hung on a cantilever beam on ball bearings. An adjustable tare weight and known weights are provided. When the water in the measuring tank exceeds the set weight, the beam will tilt and the measuring tank automatically discharges to the main storage tank which is drained at the bottom. A pump draws water from the storage tank and supplies to the outlet at the top. The unit is on a steel frame on wheels.
Instruction manual is also included.

Accessories Stop watch and outlet hose with fittings for connection to accessory Power supply 220 V, 1 Ph, 50 Hz. Other power supply is available on request. (0 reviews) -
Hydraulic Studies and AccessoriesImpact of a Jet
This equipment provides measurement of force developed by a water jet on different stationary targets. It is to be used with Hydraulics Bench i.e. HB100 or HB100N (separately supplied).
The equipment consists of a removable clear acrylic cylinder. Water is supplied through a tube at the bottom of the cylinder and discharged vertically through a nozzle onto a target plate. Each plate maintains the same working distance from the nozzle. A clear acrylic guard is provided to prevent water jet from splashing on the target. Force on the plate pushes its stem upward. Dead weight is then applied on the stem to counter balance the force exerted by the water jet. This balance is indicated by a pointer on a steel rod next to the weight. The apparatus rests on adjustable footings and a bull’s eye level is provided.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTSDetermination of the reaction of a jet striking different targets mounted normal to the jet direction, at different flow rates
