1. Differentiate between Rotational flow and Compressible flow
2. A U-tube differential manometer is connected to two pipes A and B as shown in Figure A.
Pipe A contains a liquid of specific gravity 1.5 while pipe B contains a liquid of specific
gravity 0.9. The pressures at A and B are 98.1 kN/m² and 176.58 kN/m². Determine the
difference in mercury level in the differential manometer.
