Static Pressure: Pascal’s Vases

Photo Shows the Apparatus Used at U.T. Austin

Instructions / Notes:

• The liquid pressure is the same for any given depth below the surface, regardless of the shape of the containing vessel.
• Pressure = weight density * depth (+ air pressure at the top)

Demo Staff:

• DO NOT FILL THE VASES. Provide a beaker of colored water for the professor.
