• Transparent construction - students can see what is happening
• Compact and self-contained - just needs clean water
• Determines theoretical centre of pressure and compares actual and theoretical hydrostatic thrust
• Simple but accurate balance to measure moment due to hydrostatic thrust
• Tests a vertical and inclined plane surface
• Suitable for classroom demonstrations
• Includes built-in bubble level and adjustable levelling feet
Experiments
• Studying the relationship between hydrostatic force and
head of water for a fully and partially submerged
vertical and inclined plane
• Comparison of actual and theoretical hydrostatic force
on a fully or partially submerged plane for any given
head of water
• Theoretical calculation of the position of centre of
pressure on a fully or partially submerged plane
