HYDROSTATIC FORCE AND CENTRE OF PRESSURE E – CALCULATOR

Abstract

The goal of this study is to design and create a Hydrostatic Force and Centre of Pressure E-calculator utilising the Canva app and MIT App Inventor. The study's goal is to assess the efficacy of employing this calculator. The issue that the students frequently struggle with is time-consuming computations, which makes it difficult to answer problems within the allotted time. The programme intends to save students time while addressing calculation-related difficulties, allowing them to complete projects on time. This study also emphasises the usage of graphical calculators to emphasise the spatial significance of mathematical topics. Another problem statement focused on the importance of developing an appropriate study plan for university students. Machine learning methods can be used to address this issue. The fast calculator developed in this study can help in executing error-free calculations by simply inputting the given data. The application aims to serve as a comprehensive tool for calculating hydrostatic force and center of pressure on a normal surface, specifically for rectangular shapes. According to the findings, applications help students answer problems more quickly and precisely than manual ways. Based on time comparison, applications outperformed manual techniques, with just one student requiring 11 to 15 minutes to answer the tasks given using this application against five using conventional methods. Apps resulted in more accurate answers: As the result, from 42 responded replied properly using apps, just two of them got the questions wrong. Using manual approaches, 34 pupils responded correctly and 10 wrongly. Furthermore, all 44 semester 5 students preferred utilising apps to answer Hydrostatic Force problems, demonstrating great support for applications.
