- A manometer is a device that measures pressure. A common simple manometer consists of a U shaped tube of glass filled with some liquid. Water is first filled into the U-tube until a clear horizontal water surface is visible on both legs of the U-tube. Unequal amounts of kerosene were then dropped into both legs of the U-tube. The height of kerosene in the left leg was measured as 8.3 cm high and 5.2 cm on the right leg. The difference in elevation between the interfaces of kerosene and water measured 2.5 cm. Determine the specific gravity of kerosene.arrow_forwardThe open-tube manometer shown in the figure consists of a U-shaped tube containing mercury, and connected to a tank of gas at pressure p_g.
