There are two sealed tank linked by a U-tube. If the pressure in the left and right tank are P1 and P2 respectively, and the fluid in the U-tube has a height difference of h. Assume the fluid in the U-tube is ρ, calculate the P1-P2. Hint:  Set a imagination line at the bottom of the U-tube, Assume the force acting on the left and right side of the line by the fluid is F1 and F2 respectively, You can assume the area of the U-tube at the bottom plane is A. Also the height of the fluid on the left and right side of the U-tube are h1 and h2 respectively Calculate the F1, F2

Question

There are two sealed tank linked by a U-tube. If the pressure in the left and right tank are P1 and P2 respectively, and the fluid in the U-tube has a height difference of h. Assume the fluid in the U-tube is ρ, calculate the P1-P2.

Hint: 

  • Set a imagination line at the bottom of the U-tube,
  • Assume the force acting on the left and right side of the line by the fluid is F1 and F2 respectively,
  • You can assume the area of the U-tube at the bottom plane is A.
  • Also the height of the fluid on the left and right side of the U-tube are h1 and h2 respectively
  • Calculate the F1, F2
