SPECIFICATION

Hydrostatic Pressure & Centre of Pressure

Key Features

  • This apparatus consists of a vertical panel that holds a clear plastic quadrant, to which students add water.
  • The quadrant has laser engraved lines to help students keep the plane in a vertical or angled position.
  • The cylindrical sides of the quadrant have their central axis coincidental with the moment measurement axis.
  • The total fluid pressures on these curved surfaces therefore exert no moment about this pivot.
  • Therefore, the moment is only due to the fluid pressure on the plane test surface.
  • Students measure this moment using weights suspended from a level arm.
  • A scale on the panel of the apparatus shows the head of water.
  • Simple construction, Easy to operate and understand, Clear Transparent PMMA Construction.
  • Stand-alone apparatus just needs clean water.
  • Investigation of the hydrostatic pressure in fluids at rest.
  • Tilt able water tank with fill level scale, Lever arm with different weights.
  • Anti-corrosion structure, have built-in bubble level, Have adjustable levelling feet.
