A differential manometer is used to measure the drop in pressure across a filter at a water processing plant. The density of water is 1.00 g/cm³. The density of the manometer fluid is 8.00 g/cm³. Let P₁ and P₂ represent the pressure upstream and downstream of the filter, respectively, and let h, and he represent the height of the manometer fluid at P, and P2, respectively. If h₁ = 314 mm and h₂ = 319 mm, what is the pressure difference across the filter in psi? ////////// |||||||||| P₁ h₂ pressure difference: psi
