About this Simulation

This simulation models how floating blocks respond to tilting and buoyant forces. Learners can adjust block dimensions, observe how orientation affects stability, and explore the relationship between buoyancy, pressure distribution, and equilibrium. Real-time visual feedback reveals the physics of floating objects in different configurations.

Learning objectives: Understand how buoyancy acts on submerged objects and affects stability | Investigate the relationship between block tilt angle and floating equilibrium | Analyse how pressure differences influence whether floating objects remain stable or tip over
