To determine, both experimentally and theoretically, the center of pressure.

To determine the hydrostatic force due to water acting on a partially or fully submerged surface.

The objectives of this experiment are twofold:

Hydrostatic force and its line of action is also required for the design of many parts of hydraulic equipment. The location and magnitude of water pressure force acting on water-control structures, such as dams, levees, and gates, are very important to their structural design. The center of pressure is a point on the immersed surface at which the resultant hydrostatic pressure force acts. Calculation of the hydrostatic force and the location of the center of pressure are fundamental subjects in fluid mechanics. Hydrostatic forces are the resultant force caused by the pressure loading of a liquid acting on submerged surfaces.
