When the 75mm by 100mm plane of the torus is fully submerged under water, the depth measured from the base of the vertical plane to the water surface was 140mm and that the total weight (including the weight of the hanger) that balanced the torus was 390g. L=275mm pivot point w= 75mm - 200mm Ye Yp h=100mm

Question

a) What is the magnitude of the theoretical hydrostatic force in Newtons? 

b) What is the magnitude of the experimental hydrostatic force in Newtons?

c)Determine the percentage error between the theoretical and experimental values.

The Center of Pressure Apparatus was designed to determine the hydrostatic force exerted by a fluid on a submerged surface. When the 75mm by 100mm plane of the torus is fully submerged under water, the depth measured from the base of the vertical plane to the water surface was 140mm and that the total weight (including the weight of the hanger) that balanced the torus was 390g. L=275mm pivot point w= 75mm - 200mm Yp h=100mm
