Consider the setup shown below, with a valve to adjust the flow of a fluid to an orifice meter equipped with a differential manometer across it, in series with a rotameter that has been previously calibrated for liquid acetone (density= 0.791 g/cm3), the fluid of interest. The rotameter calibration expression was found to be V=1.56R, where the volumetric flow rate is in mL/s and the rotameter reading is unitless. The manometer fluid has a specific gravity of 1.210. a) For one valve setting resulting in a rotameter reading of 82.0 as liquid acetone flows through the system, the height difference of the manometer fluid is 22.0 mm. The volumetric flow rate for this condition in mL/s with 3 sig. fig's is b) For one valve setting resulting in a rotameter reading of 80.0 as liquid acetone flows through the system, the height difference of the manometer fluid is 22.3 mm. The pressure drop for this condition in Pascals (Pa) with 3 sig. fig's is
