Step 1
- \( d_1 = 1.7 \, \text{ft} \) - \( d_2 = 1 \, \text{in} = \frac{1}{12} \, \text{ft} \) - \( d_3 = 6.3 \, \text{in} = \frac{6.3}{12} \, \text{ft} \) Show more…

Problem 3 Two pipes are connected by a manometer as shown in the figure. Determine the pressure difference, p_A - p_B between the pipes. Answer: p_A - p_B = -3.32 kPa Problem 4 For the inclined-tube manometer shown in the figure, the pressure in pipe A is 4.1 kPa. The fluid in both pipes A and B is water, and the gage fluid in the manometer has a specific gravity of 2.6. What is the pressure in pipe B corresponding to the differential reading shown? Answer: p_B = 1.5 kPa
