Purpose
To calculate the hydrostatic force exerted on a submerged plane and the theoretical hydrostatic force.
Methodology
One way to define the center of pressure is as follows: it is the point within a plane where the combined force exerted by a fluid can be considered to act perpendicular to that plane.
The equipment allows for the direct measurement of the moment resulting from the total fluid force acting on a plane surface that is either completely or partially submerged. The quadrant tank assembly, which is used as a balance, contains water. The cylindrical sides of the quadrant have their axes aligned with the center of rotation of the tank assembly. Consequently, the combined fluid pressure acting on these surfaces does not create any moment around that center. The only moment that exists is caused by the fluid pressure acting on the plane surface, and this moment is measured through experimentation by adding weights to a weight hanger located on the opposite side of the quadrant tank. A second tank, located on the same side of the assembly as the weight hanger, enables fine adjustments
to be made. A scale on the quadrant tank is utilized to determine the water level beneath the pivot. Finally, the measured moment can be compared to theoretical calculations.

A gasoline line is connected to a pressure gauge through a double U-shaped manometer,
as shown from Figure 1.
a) If the gauge pressure reading is 370 kPa, determine the gauge pressure of the
gasoline (kPa).
b) If the gauge pressure reading is 240 kPa, determine the gauge pressure of the
gasoline (kPa).
c) Indicate the pressure difference between the measured pressure and the calculated pressure.
Assumptions: 1 - All liquids are incompressible. 2 - The effect of the air column on the pressure is insignificant. Properties: The specific gravities (GE) or also called the relative density (DR) of the oil, mercury and gasoline are 0.79; 13.6 and 0.70; respectively. Consider the density of water ρH O = 1000 kg/m and gravity as g = 9.81 m/s². Tip: Starting with the pressure indicated by the pressure gauge and moving along the tube adding (as we go down) or subtracting (as we go up) the ρgh terms until we get to the tube of gasoline, and set the result equal to P .

Current Attempt in Progress
Three liquids that will not mix are poured into a cylindrical container. The volumes and densities of the liquids are 0.607 L, 2.60 g/cm³;
1.13 L, 1.18 g/cm3; and 0.357 L, 0.634 g/cm3. What is the force on the bottom of the container due to these liquids? One liter = 1L =
1000 cm?. (Ignore the contribution due to the atmosphere.)
