Center of Pressure Apparatus

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14008

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Center of Pressure Apparatus (Product ID: 14008) as part of its Civil Engineering Lab Equipment range. It measures the hydrostatic force on a submerged surface and where it acts.

Quick Answer

A quadrant with a 100 x 100 mm face (160 mm total immersed depth) is mounted on a balance arm pivoting 100 mm above it. Because the curved faces pass through the pivot, only the force on the flat face creates a moment, which is balanced by weights hung 275 mm from the fulcrum. The quadrant sits in a tank of about 5 L. Students compare the measured force and centre of pressure with theory at different depths.
