NUMBER NAME PICTURE

1 Place the hydrostatic Pressure Apparatus
on a horizontal, waterproof surface.
2 Set the vessel to an angle of a= 0° using
the detent as shown

3 Counter balance the unit with a rotating

slider.

4 The rotating slider must be placed such

that the spirit level shows that the
balance arm is level.
5 Mount the rider set the lever arm on the
scale (I = 175 mm)

6 Top up with water until the balance arm I

s leveled.
7 Read off water level, s and enter it in the
prepared worksheet.

8 Increased the appended weight in

increment of 50g and repeat the
experiment to record 1 sets of
observation.
9 Continue topping-up with water until the
submerged condition is just attained.

10 Add weights until the level arm just

dipped, level the arm by topping up with
water. The current weight is now the
start for the submerged condition. Use
50g weight incremental for the
submerged condition, until 7 readings are
obtained.
11 Back-tracking and check the readings of
the water level and matching weights
recordings while the water is being
drained-off decrementally.
12 Clean up and tidy up the apparatus and
surrounding once done.
