HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE IN LIQUIDS TRAINING SET
The Hydrostatic Pressure Training Set demonstrates that the weight of liquids at rest causes a pressure known as hydrostatic pressure or gravitational pressure. This pressure acts on any surface in contact with the liquid and applies a force proportional to the area of the surface. The effect of hydrostatic pressure is extremely important in many engineering fields: shipbuilding, hydraulic engineering in the design of locks and weirs, plumbing, and construction. The experiment unit consists of a transparent, tiltable water tank with a scale to measure volumes. Another scale is used to adjust the tilt angle of the water tank. The device is balanced with a lever arm using different weights and the measured compression force.
