A mercury manometer is attached to a nozzle through which water flows with an inlet velocity of 2 m/s. Additionally, a piezometer is attached at the small diameter section of the nozzle. The nozzle is inclined at 30° from the horizontal and the distance between the arms of the manometer along the nozzle is 40 cm. The nozzle inlet diameter is 40 cm whereas the exit diameter is 20 cm. Determine the differential height of mercury between the two pipe sections. If the height in the piezometer is 20 cm, determine the pressure at the inlet.

A mercury manometer is attached to a nozzle through which water flows with an inlet velocity of 2 m/s. Additionally, a piezometer is attached at the small diameter section of the
nozzle. The nozzle is inclined at 30° from the horizontal and the distance between the arms of the manometer along the nozzle is 40 cm. The nozzle inlet diameter is 40 cm
whereas the exit diameter is 20 cm. Determine the differential height of mercury between the two pipe sections. If the height in the piezometer is 20 cm, determine the pressure at
the inlet.
