What is Stability of Floating Bodies Experiment about?

This document discusses the stability of floating bodies like pontoons and ships. It presents the objective to experimentally determine the metacentre of a pontoon and how stability is independent of the center of gravity. The procedure measures the tilt angle caused by displacing a jockey weight and calculates the center of gravity. Results show that the metacentric height decreases as the center of gravity increases, meaning the pontoon is less stable. The conclusion is that for stability, the metacentre
