For an atmospheric pressure of 101 kPa (abs) determine the heights of the fluid columns in barometers containing one of the following liquids: (a) mercury (SG = 13.55), (b) water, and (c) ethyl alcohol (SG = 0.79). Do these results support the widespread use of mercury for barometers? Why? (a. 0.760m, b.10.296m, c. 13.032)

An air-filled, hemispherical shell is attached to the ocean floor at a depth of 9.4 m as shown in the figure below. A mercury barometer located inside the shell reads 765 mm Hg, and a mercury U-tube manometer designed to give the outside water pressure indicates a differential reading of 735 mm Hg as illustrated. Based on these data what is the atmospheric pressure at the ocean surface? Patm = kPa 735 mm Ocean surface Seawater 360 mm Mercury Shell- -Shell wall L 9.4m

From the 325 mm by 160 1.2 m mm venturi meter (C=1) compute the deflection of mercury in the 1.6 m manometer if the water flows through the venturi meter at 180 L/s. Neglect headlost. S = 13.6
2. A mercury barometer reads 720 mm A) What would be the corresponding reading of water barometer? B) What is the absolute atmospheric pressure in kPa C) What is the approximate elevation above sea level assuming atmospheric condition? Neglect vapor pressure. Yair = 12 N/m³
A horizontal Venturimeter with inlet and throat diameters 300 mm and 100 mm respectively is used to measure the flow of water. The pressure intensity at inlet is 130 KN/m2, while the vacuum pressure head at the throat is 350 mm of mercury. Assuming that 3% of head is lost in between the inlet and throat, find, the value of Cd for the Venturimeter and rate of flow.

To keep track of water pressure, a manometer is attached to a water supply pipe. The 3 ft (Hg) measurement on the manometer, on the other hand, could be inaccurate. Determine the right value of the reading (h) if the pressure in the pipe is measured and determined to be 18.6 lb/in² (psi). The specific gravity of Hg is 13.6.
