A simple U tube manometer is used to measure the pressure of oil flowing in a pipeline. Its left limb is open to the atmosphere and the right limb is connected to the pipe. The center of the pipe is 72 mm below the level of mercury in the left limb. If the difference of mercury level in the two limbs is 157 mm, determine the gauge pressure of the oil in the pipe in Pascal. The specific gravity of the oil & mercury is 0.82 and 13.6 respectively.

A simple U tube manometer is used to measure
the pressure of oil flowing in a pipeline. Its left
limb is open to the atmosphere and the right
limb is connected to the pipe. The center of the
pipe is 72 mm below the level of mercury in the
left limb. If the difference of mercury level in
the two limbs is 157 mm, determine the gauge
pressure of the oil in the pipe in Pascal. The
specific gravity of the oil & mercury is 0.82 and
13.6 respectively.
Solution:
(i) Density of oil in kg/m³
(ii) Density of mercury in kg/m3
(iii) Height of the Oil in the right limb (in meters
of oil) h1
(iv) The absolute pressure of the oil in the pipe
in (in Pascal)
