A venturi meter 60 cm by 30 cm has its axis downward 30° from the horizontal. The distance measured from along the axis from the inlet to the throat is 1.20 meters. The manometer shows a deflection of 15 cm Hg. Find the difference in pressure head from inlet and throat in meter. Use 13.60 as relative density of mercury.
