    This document summarizes a laboratory experiment on hydrostatics. The objectives were to: 1) Derive the theoretical hydrostatic force equation based on pressure on a vertical wall. 2) Perform sample force calculations using the theoretical equation and experimental readings. 3) Calculate actual hydrostatic forces by equating moments and comment on discrepancies with theory. 4) Plot force versus depth squared and conclude the relationship follows the theoretical equation. 5) Discuss engineering applications of hydrostatics and how the findings could influence design.

    Please note that this experimental report summary is not a substitute for full and
    comprehensive laboratory experiment notes which will be used for full data analysis and
    reporting.

    Summarise in your own words the purpose and objectives of this laboratory.

    Derive the theoretical hydrostatic force equation based on hydrostatic pressure on a vertical wall.
    Perform a sample force calculation for a reading taken during the experiment.

    Calculate the actual hydrostatic force by equating moments/torques about the fulcrum for the same
    reading above. Comment on any discrepancies between theory and measurement.

    Plot the actual hydrostatic force against the square of the total water depth for your readings taken.
    What can you conclude about the relationship between the hydrostatic force and water depth?

    Where is hydrostatics important in engineering and how could your findings here influence design?
