A vertical venturimeter carries a liquid of specific gravity 0.8 and has inlet and throat diameters of 150mm and 75mm respectively. The pressure connection at the throat is 150mm above that at inlet. The actual flow rate is 40 Liter/s and the discharge coefficient is 0.96, calculate: (i) The pressure different between inlet and throat (ii) The difference of levels in a vertical U-tube mercury manometer connected between these points, the tube above the mercury being full of liquid. (Take specific gravity of mercury= 13.6)

it a past year so it not a graded question...

A vertical venturimeter carries a liquid of specific gravity 0.8 and has inlet 
and throat diameters of 150mm and 75mm respectively. The pressure 
connection at the throat is 150mm above that at inlet. The actual flow 
rate is 40 Liter/s and the discharge coefficient is 0.96, calculate:

(i) The pressure different between inlet and throat
(ii) The difference of levels in a vertical U-tube mercury manometer 


connected between these points, the tube above the mercury 
being full of liquid. (Take specific gravity of mercury= 13.6)
