Hydrostatic pressure

Principle

The students should determine the directional independence of hydrostatic pressure (termed as top, lateral and bottom pressure) with the aid of 3 hydrostatic pressure probes.

Additionally, they should measure the hydrostatic pressure as a function of immersion depth and analyse the corresponding graph.

A U-tube manometer constructed from glass tubes and silicone tubing serves as the measuring device.
