Construct a vertical U-tube manometer to measure the pressure difference across a flow section. Explain in detailed what is the theory used and write an equation to relate the pressure difference to the difference in liquid level. Suggest TWO techniques to improve the sensitivity of the vertical U-tube manometer that you constructed. Justify your suggestion with the aid of diagrams and equations.
