Question

The two water reservoirs shown in the figure are open to the atmosphere, and the water has density 1000 kg/m3. The manometer contains incompressible oil with a density of 820 kg/m3. What is the difference in elevation h if the manometer reading m is 25.0 cm?

Step 1

0 cm = 0.250 m (vertical separation between the two oil–water interfaces), rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3 (water density), rho_o = 820 kg/m^3 (oil density), h = difference in reservoir free-surface elevations (unknown). Show more…
