DISCUSSION
From the experiment we can see that there is difference value in hp of experiment
and hp of theoretical. This may occur due to human error in reading of balance bridge arm
level. This would lead to an inaccurate water height reading, which would consequently
affect everything height was used to calculate other than that, there might be human error in
reading the height of the water in the chamber. This also would cause the height
measurement and all subsequent calculations.
Next, the error during splashing the water into the balance bridge arm might occur
too. When we poured the water and of course this would cause an artificial increase in
weight due to the applied masses. The applied masses were not weight prior to their
application onto the balance bridge arm. Thus, the applied mass may weight more due to
accumulation of oils from being handled. However, all those errors that might be occurred
are so minor that is likely that even if they were present in the experiment, they would have
little to no effect on the result.
CONCLUSION
We have conducted an experiment of centre of pressure. We found that there is an
error when calculating the experimental depth from the water surface to the centre of
pressure due to the incorrect reading of the depth by using a ruler. Based on the objective of
this experiment, we can determine the position of the centre of pressure of the rectangular
face of the torroid based on data that we achieved. We find that the centre of pressure is
always below the centre of gravity because the pressure is higher at deeper points on
vertical surface. Therefore, the position of centre of pressure is not same as centre of gravity
in a vertical surface
