In the present work, a virtual laboratory using the Algodoo App was implemented in order to determine the metacentric height of a rectangular Ship in 2D. Experiments were carried out with different rectangular Ships, of different densities and geometries, which floated on a density fluid of fresh or salt water. Vertically and horizontally sliding pieces of different weights were placed on each Ship, causingtilt on the Ship, which could be measured for determining the stability gradient. Following, dispersion graphs of the vertical gravity center position versus the stability gradient were made, and with a linear data adjustment, the Ships transverse stability metacenter was determined. Finally, with a statistical treatment, the Ships metacentric height and its respective interpretation of the stability were determined. It was concluded that the method could serve as an option for instruction in understanding the stability of Ships and this method could serve as an option for instruction in understanding the stability of ships and in suggesting the future work with more complicated ship geometries.
