A YouTube (sorry U-tube) manometer containing mercury is connected to two static pressure taps at the same elevation but at different locations along a horizontal pipe containing water. An accurate measurement of the difference in static pressure at the two pressure taps is registered by: The (density of mercury minus the density of water) times the acceleration due to gravity times the height difference between the tops of the mercury column The (density of mercury) times the acceleration due to gravity times the height difference between the tops of the mercury column The (density of mercury plus the density of water) times the acceleration due to gravity times the height difference between the tops of the mercury column The heights of the static pressure taps O The density of water times the acceleration due to gravity times the height difference between the tops of the mercury column

Question
A YouTube (sorry U-tube) manometer containing mercury is connected
to two static pressure taps at the same elevation but at different
locations along a horizontal pipe containing water. An accurate
measurement of the difference in static pressure at the two pressure
taps is registered by:
The (density of mercury minus the density of water) times the acceleration due to
gravity times the height difference between the tops of the mercury column
The (density of mercury) times the acceleration due to gravity times the height
difference between the tops of the mercury column
The (density of mercury plus the density of water) times the acceleration due to
gravity times the height difference between the tops of the mercury column
The heights of the static pressure taps
O The density of water times the acceleration due to gravity times the height
difference between the tops of the mercury column
