A laboratory apparatus used in some universities is shown in the figure. The purpose is to measure the hydrostatic force on the flat face of the circular-arc block and compare it with the theoretical value for a given depth h. The counter weight is arranged so that the pivot arm is horizontal when the block is not submerged, whence the weight W can be correlated with the hydrostatic force when the submerged arm is again brought to horizontal. Come up with a design with different set of appara
