Question

3. A venturi meter having a 102-mm throat is installed in a horizontal 305-mm pipeline carrying light oil having a specific gravity of 0.82. A mercury U-tube connected shows a difference in height of mercury columns of 229 mm, the remainder of the tube being filled with oil. Find the rate of discharge in kilograms per hour. Solve using SI units.
