Requirements (Instruments, Chemicals & Other) :
• Stainless steel Pontoon: Size 300 x 150 mm (Approx.> with a Horizontal Guide Bar for sliding weight).
• A set of different weights.
• Water Tank with Front Window of Tank : made of Glass / Perspex

Procedure :

1. Make the tank free from dust.
   
2. Fill tank ¾ with clean water and ensure that no foreign particles are there.
   
3. Weigh the ship model to find W.
   
4. Float the ship model in water and ensure that it is in stable equilibrium.
   
5. Apply the known weight (w) at the center of model.
   
6. Give the model a small angular displacement in clockwise direction.
   
7. Measure the distance moved by the weight applied with the help of scale.
   
8. Measure the angle of tilt on the graduated arc
   
9. Repeat the experiment for different weights.
