From: P = γ Lh
therefore P= γLx
P= F/A = dF/dA
therefore dF = PdA

APPARATUS
Place the apparatus on the hydraulic bench. Level the apparatus using the spirit
level and adjustable feet. Ensure pump delivery valve is fully closed. Connect flexible
supply hose to apparatus. Adjust the counterweight to balance the counter balance
beam until the beam is level. Switch on the pump. Place a mass of approximately 50
grams on the pan. Open pump delivery valve and allow water into the tank until
balance arm is horizontal, then close the pump delivery valve. Read height of water
level on scale or torroid. Repeat the same procedure for various values of weight in
the balance pan up to four trials. Stop Hydraulics Bench pump. Disconnect supply
hose from the apparatus and allow apparatus to drain.
