In a tiny tank with a clear side, a pontoon is let to float. steel strips that may be removed from the model and changed to alter the weight. A scale is used to measure the displacement of weight. A pendulum, which consists of a weight suspended from a long pointer, can be used to measure the tilt angle on a graduated arc. A cross bar with two movable hangers is fixed to the ship model to allow for tilting. The cross bar's Centre has a suitable location for the graduated arc and pendulum. There are weights included with the device.
