The inclined-tube manometer shown has $D=76 \mathrm{mm}$ and $d=8 \mathrm{mm},$ and is filled with Meriam red oil. Compute the angle, $\theta,$ that will give a 15 -cm oil deflection along the inclined tube for an applied pressure of $25 \mathrm{mm}$ of water (gage). Determine the sensitivity of this manometer.
Verify that the flow of oil is laminar (barely) for an oil gusher that shoots crude oil 25.0 m into the air through a pipe with a 0.100-m diameter. The vertical pipe is 50 m long. Take the density of the oil to be 900 $\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$ and its viscosity to be 1.00$\left(\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\right) \cdot \mathrm{s}$ (or 1.00 $\mathrm{Pa} \cdot \mathrm{s} )$
