F2-02: CARTESIAN DIVER

Category: F2 Buoyancy

Purpose: Demonstrate a variety of fluid mechanics phenomena, including the compressibility of a gas, the incompressibility of water, Boyle's law, Pascal's law, and Archimedes' law.

F1-13: CONSTANT WATER PRESSURE

Purpose: Demonstrate a mechanism which produces a constant water pressure.

F1-11: HYDRAULIC PRESS

Purpose: Demonstrate dramatically Pascal's Law and the large forces attainable using hydraulic systems.

F1-04: EQUILIBRIUM TUBES

Purpose: Demonstrate that pressure is transmitted equally throughout a fluid.

F1-02: FLUID PRESSURE VS DEPTH - ANEROID GAUGE

Purpose: Show water pressure versus depth with an aneroid gauge.
