Question

Two small vessels are connected to a U-tube manometer containing mercury (relative
density = 13.56) and the connecting tubes are filled with alcohol (relative density =
0.82). The vessel at the higher pressure is 2.4 m lower in elevation than the other
vessel.

a.) Determine the pressure difference between the two vessels when the difference
in the levels of the mercury menisci is 260 mm.
b.) Determine the difference in the piezometric head.
