An inverted U-tube of the form shown in Fig. 2.18 is used to measure the pressure difference between two points A and B in an inclined pipeline through which water (density1000 kg/m³) is flowing. The difference of level h = 0.3 m, a = 0.25 m and b = 0.15 m. Calculate the pressure difference PB - PA if the top of the manometer is filled with (a) air, (b) oil of relative density 0.8. Fluid, density Pman Liquid, density p Figure 2.18 Inverted U-tube manometer
