A single column vertical manometer is connected to a pipe containing oil of specific gravity 0.9. The area of the reservoir is 80 times the area of the manometer tube. The reservoir contains mercury of specific gravity 13.6. The level of mercury in the reservoir is at a height of 300 mm below the centre of the pipe and difference of mercury levels in the reservoir and right limb is 500 mm. Find the pressure in the pipe.

9. Asingle column vertical manometer is connected
to a pipe containing oil of specific gravity 0.9.
The area of the reservoir is 80 times the area
of the manometer tube. The reservoir contains
mercury of specific gravity 13.6. The level of
mercury in the reservoir is at a height of 300
mm below the centre of the pipe and difference
of mercury levels in the reservoir and right limb
is 500 mm. Find the pressure in the pipe.
[Ans. 64.7 kN/m²]
