A U-tube differential manometer connects two pressure pipes A and B. Pipe A contains carbon tetrachloride having a specific gravity 1.594 under a pressure of 11.772 N/cm² and pipe B contains oil of sp. gr. 0.8 under a pressure of 11.772 N/cm*. The pipe A lies 2.5 m above pipe B. Find the difference of pressure measured by mercury as fluid filling U-tube. A differential manometer is connected at the two points A and B as shown in Fig. 2.25. At B air pressure is 7.848 N/cm (abs.), find the absolute pressure at A.
