The NA8-10 Large Angle Stability System is designed for the study of ship hydrostatics and stability. A comprehensive manual provides hydrostatic stability and other data for ship models and includes a number of experiments which are useful to students.
Exercises are conducted on a 1/70 scale model of a general cargo vessel of 28000 tonnes ship mass. Rolling, righting and the effects of flooding various compartments may be studied. Optional alternative ships models are also available for study.
- Inclining experiment
- Influence of a free surface
- Influence of a suspended mass, (with the optional crane ship model)
- Effect of flooding various compartments
- Rolling experiments
