F1-03: PASCAL'S VASES
- ID Code: F1-03
- Purpose: Demonstrate that pressure is dependent only on depth, and not on the shape of the container.
- Description: Three "vases" with different shapes can be connected to a water reservoir and pressure gauge assembly. Using the wire as a depth indicator, it is shown that the pressure in the vase depends only on the depth, not on the shape of the vase.
