F1-01 FLUID PRESSURE VS. DEPTH
Additional Info
- ID Code: F1-01
- Purpose: Demonstrates that fluid pressure increases linearly with depth and is isotropic.
- Description: An L-shaped glass tube connected to a liquid manometer is inserted into a tank of water. The pressure in the water tank can be measured at any depth. Holding the tube at a particular depth and rotating it about the end will show no change in pressure, demonstrating that pressure is isotropic.
- Availability: Available
- Loc codes: F1, FS2
