About This Product
Water is let into the quadrant and the arm is returned to balance by adding or removing weights, so the measured moment can be set against the one predicted from the water head. Because the curved sides are centred on the beam axis, the balance responds to the pressure on the flat face, which is the quantity the experiment is after. Educational Lab Equipments can supply and export the Centre Of Pressure Apparatus to Iceland, Belgium, South Africa, Kenya and Estonia.
