Question
When measuring small pressure differences with a manometer, one arm of the manometer may be inclined to improve the accuracy of the reading. (The pressure difference is still proportional to the vertical distance and not the actual length of ghr fluid along the tube.) The air pressure in a circular duct is to be measured using a manometer whose open arm is inclined 25 degrees from horizontal. The density of the fluid in the manometer is 900 kg/m³, and the vertical distance between the fluid levels in the two arms of the manometer is 7.8 inches. Determine the gauge pressure of the air in the duct and the length of the fluid column in the inclined arm above the fluid level in the vertical arm.
