Hydrostatic Pressure On Submerged Surfaces

Hydrostatic Pressure On Submerged Surfaces

The Hydrostatic Pressure On Submerged Surfaces system is designed to study and calculate of the pressure force acting on a submerged surface Hydrostatic Pressure On Submerged Surfaces is a simple and completely autonomous equipment that can be easily located in a laboratory without any installation. It is possible to use liquids of different densities to determine the different exerted forces between them.

Highlights of Hydrostatic Pressure On Submerged Surfaces

1. Stand-alone equipment
2. Possibility to determine the exerted pressure on flat and curved surfaces.

Performable Experiments of Hydrostatic Pressure On Submerged Surfaces

With this didactic equipment it is possible to perform the following experiments:

1. Measure and verify the momentum created by the pressing force acting on a submerged flat vertical surface. For that it is necessary to determine both the magnitude of the force and its pressure center. It is possible to distinguish two different cases:
2. Complete submerged surface.
3. Partially submerged surface.
4. Obtaining and verifying the momentum created by pressure force acting on a submerged curved surface.

It is necessary calculate the magnitude of the force and its pressure center. It is possible to distinguish three different cases:

1. Semicircular sector completely submerged.
2. Semicircular sector partially submerged , fluid level above the center of gravity.
3. Semicircular sector partially submerged , fluid level below the center of gravity
