Question
A Gasoline line is connected to a pressure gage
with a double-U manometer as shown in the
figure. Specific gravities of oil, mercury and
gasoline are 0.82, 13.34 and 0.68, respectively
and density of water is 1000 kg/m³. If the
reading of the pressure gage is 300 kPa, h1 = 21
cm, h2 = 9 cm, h3 = 54 cm, h4 = 42 cm,
determine
