Question
s1.
A U-tube manometer is connected to a closed tank containing air and water is shown. At the closed end of the manometer the air pressure is 16 psia. Determine the reading on the pressure gage for a differential reading of 4 ft on the manometer. Express your answer in psi (gage). Assume standard atmospheric pressure and neglect the weight of the air columns in the manometer.
s2.
Two pipes are connected by a manometer as shown.Determine the pressure difference, between the pipes in kPa.

X Part A A manometer is used to measure the pressure drop across a valve as shown above. Use the equation P = yh to show that AP = P₂ - P₁ = Ah(yw - Ym), where Ah is the manometer reading, Yw is the specific weight of water, and Ym is the specific weight of mercury.arrow_forward
