3) Hydrostatic pressure (4 points)

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.)
