Mercury is placed in a “U” shaped tube as shown in the figure, the left arm of the tube has a section area transversal: A1 = 10 cm2 , while the right arm its area is A2 = 5 cm2. If 100 grams of water are deposited on the arm right (see figure): (a) determine the height of the water column placed on the right arm of the tube, (b) determines the value of the distance h that the mercury rises in the left arm of the tube. Consider: ρmercury = 13.6 g / cm3 , ρwater = 1 g / cm3

(III) When using a mercury barometer (Section 10–6), thevapor pressure of mercury is usually assumed to be zero.At room temperature mercury’s vapor pressure is about0.0015 mm-Hg. At sea level, the height h of mercury in abarometer is about 760 mm. (a) If the vapor pressure ofmercury is neglected, is the true atmospheric pressuregreater or less than the value read from the barometer?(b) What is the percent error?

Small differences in gas pressures are commonly measured with a micro-manometer of the type illustrated in Fig. (3). This device consists of two large reservoirs each having a cross sectional area A, which are filled with a liquid having a specific weight Y1 and connected by a U-tube of cross-sectional area A, containing a liquid of specific weight y2. When a differential gas pressure, P, - P2 , is applied, a differential reading, h, develops. It is desired to have this reading sufficiently large (so that it can be easily read) for small pressure At differentials. Determine the relationship between h and P1 P, when the area ratio is small, and show Ar that the differential reading, h, can be magnified by making the difference in specific weights, Y2 - Y1 , small. Assume that initially (with P = 2P2). %3D P1 P2 Y1 Figure (3)
