Experiment #1: Hydrostatic Pressure 1. Introduction Hydrostatic forces are the resultant force caused by the pressure loading of a liquid acting on submerged surfaces. Calculation of the hydrostatic force and the location of the center of pressure are fundamental subjects in fluid mechanics. The center of pressure is a point on the immersed surface at which the resultant hydrostatic pressure force acts. 2. Practical Application The location and magnitude of water pressure force acting on water-c
