A Venturi meter 45 cm by 20 cm has its axis inclined upwards 30 degrees from the horizontal. The distance measured along the axis, from the inlet to the throat is 1.20m. The differential manometer connected at the inlet and throat shows a deflection of 25 cm of mercury. If the flow is upward and the flowing fluid has specific gravity of 2.0, find the discharge and the pressure head difference between the inlet and throat if the meter coefficient is 0.96
