HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE APPARATUS
Hydrostatic force on a plane surface
Technical description
The apparatus comprises a transparent measuring container that is filled with
water for the experiments. A scale on the tank permits the water levels to be
read off with precision. The counterbalanced tank swivels on a bearing. When
the tank angle is set to zero using a lever with appropriate weights, the force
acting on the surface can be determined. This force is an important design
parameter in shipbuilding and hydraulic engineering.
