The image below shows a typical laboratory equipment found in some universities. The goal is to measure the hydrostatic force acting on the flat side of the circular arc block and compare it to the theoretical value for a given depth h. The counterweight is arranged so that the pivot arm is horizontal when the block is not submerged, hence the weight W can be correlated with the hydrostatic force when the submerged arm is again brought to horizontal. Do the hydrostatic forces need to be taken into consideration if we take moments at the pivot? Explain.
