a) For the given data calculate the experimental and theoretical depth of center of pressure
and provide the percentage error. (Assume the vertical plane surface is fully submerged
and write the formula).
D=0.1m; H = 0.2m; L = 0.275m; B = 0.075m; mass = 300g; d = 118mm;
Experimental depth of center of pressure
Theoretical depth of center of pressure
Percentage Error =
b) What are the sources of error that should be minimized while performing hydrostatic
pressure experiment? (Mention at least two.)
