Walaa Araydah Experiment (10) Center of Pressure Introduction Water at rest (or relatively slow moving water) exerts a hydrostatic force (pressure) on the walls of dams, large ducts, canals and against canal gates (in canal locks). This hydrostatic force is not the same as that fluid force at the bottom of the dam or canal, as it is applied at a steeper angle (usually right angle) and changes with the height of water (submersion of the plane). Engineers need to know how to predict this force to help understand the strength and design of structures needed to resist it. Objectives This Experiment aims to: 1- Study the moment due to the hydrostatic force on a fully or partially submerged vertical plane surface and compare it with theory.
