Question

A U-tube monometer is connected to a closed talk, shown below, containing oil having a density of 850 kg/m$^3$, the pressure of the air above the oil being 3200 Pa. If the pressure at point A in the oil is 18000 Pa and manometer fluid has a 2800 kg/m$^3$, determine, 1. The depth of oil $z_1$ 2. The differential reading, $z_2$ on the monometer

Step 1

To find the depth of oil, z1, we can use the equation for pressure in a fluid: P = ρgh where P is the pressure, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height or depth of the fluid. In this case, we know the pressure at Show more…

A U-tube manometer is connected to a closed tank shown below, containing oil with a density of 850 kg/m^3. The pressure of the air above the oil is 3200 Pa. If the pressure at point A in the oil is 18000 Pa and the manometer fluid has a density of 2800 kg/m^3, determine: 1. The depth of oil, z1 2. The differential reading, z2, on the manometer
