Abstract
The use of inexpensive pressure sensors, with minimum installation pro blems, has allowed several experiments to be designed for the physics class. An experimental device provided with a pressure sensor and a le vel sensor has now made it possible to verify the fundamental equation of fluid statics. The device has been applied to density measurements of several fluids (water, aqueous solution of NaCl and ethanol) at co nstant temperature. (C) 1996 American Association of Physics Teachers.
