Step 1
The pressure difference between the two sides of the manometer can be calculated using the equation: ΔP = ρgh where ΔP is the pressure difference, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the difference in height between the Show more…

A manometer is connected to a tank which is partly filled with oil of specific gravity 0.8 as shown. The manometric fluid is mercury. Calculate the pressure gauge reading if the barometric pressure is 75 cm of mercury.

Q4: A simple manometer containing mercury is connected to pipe in which an oil of specific gravity 0.85 is flowing. The pressure in the pipe is vacuum. The other end of manometer is open to atmosphere. Find the vacuum pressure in bar of the pipe if the difference of mercury level in two limbs is 20 cm and height of oil in the left limb from centre of pipe is 12.5 cm below. What happens to vacuum pressure if difference of mercury level in two limbs becomes 10 cm. Comment on the results with respect to vacuum pressure. (6 marks)

A simple manometer is used to measure the pressure of oil (sp. Gravity = 0.8) flowing in a pipeline. Its right limb is open to the atmosphere and the left limb is connected to the pipe. The centre of pipe is 90mm below the level of mercury (sp. Gravity = 13.6) in the right limb. If the difference of mercury levels in the two limbs is 150mm, find the pressure of oil in pipe.
