Thanks to this item and to a pressure sensor it is possible to check that the pressure on each surface element immersed in a liquid is independent from the surface’s orientation and its value is equal to the weight of a liquid’s column having the considered surface element as a base and as the height the height difference between the center of this surface and the free surface of the liquid. It is also possible to experiment with the outflow’s speed of a liquid under the gravity’s effect and with the thrust that a solid body receives when it is immersed in a liquid (Archimede’ principle).
With the vessel code 8121 and the accessory code 8122 you can perform two additional experiments about communicating vessels:
– Water balance with two vases having the same capacity;
– Water balance with two vases having different capacity.
8121.1 Spare part – glass – for code 8121
