This is because the buoyant force equals the weight of water displaced by the object and as the object moves above the surface, the displaced volume of water becomes less. The reduced buoyant force will be designated as FB r. When the object reaches equilibrium, the reduced buoyant force exactly equals the weight of the object. Thus, FB r 5 W. (3-18) Using equation 3-18, the submerged portion of the object can be determined. The height of the object above the water surface depends on the shape of the object.

Negative pressure typically is encountered in association with pumping. Mechanical Gauges Water pressure is conveniently measured directly in lb/in2 by use of mechanical gauges such as the bourdon gauge, shown schematically in Figure 3-15. In the bourdon gauge, a thin, curved tube connected to the water to be measured deflects under the influence of water pressure and causes a dial to turn. The dial is then calibrated in lb/in2. Bourdon gauges can also be calibrated to read negative pressure. An electrical strain gauge is also used to measure water pressure.
