In order to assess the accuracy of the measurements taken by the pressure system, the theoretical heights were compared to the experimental values of height. Because the moment about the pivot must be zero, the relationship between mass and height further confirmed these findings. Thus, in both cases, the data collected verified the relationships of center of pressure and hydrostatic force against height presented in the given equations. For the partially submerged surface, hydrostatic force had a power relationship with the height of the water, and, for a fully submerged surface, hydrostatic force had a linear relationship with the height of the water. For the partially submerged surface, the center of pressure had a linear relationship with the height of the water, while there was a power relationship between these variables for a fully submerged surface.
This process was repeated for both partially and fully submerged surfaces. These values were plotted against the height of the water. The corresponding height of the water was recorded and used to calculate the center of pressure and hydrostatic force on the vertical rectangular quadrant. To demonstrate this capability, known masses were added to one end of an Edibon Hydrostatic Pressure System, and water was added into the system until the arm was level (balancing the moment about the pivot). Hydrostatic Pressure Systems allow for the measurement and development of hydrostatic force and center of pressure equations and values necessary to build and evaluate fluid systems.
