in a vertical pipe conveying oil of specific gravity 0.8, two pressure gauges have Problem been installed at A and B where the diametres are 16 cm and 8 cm respectively. A is 2 metres above B. The pressure gauge readings have shown that the pressure at B is greater than at A by 0.981 N/ cm². Neglecting all losses, calculate the flow rate. If the gauges at A and B are replaced by tubes filled with the same liquid and connected to a U-tube containing mercury, calculate the difference of Lauel of wareu iu the two limbs of the U.tube

been installed at A and B where the diametres are 16 cm and 8 cm respectively. A is 2 metres above
B. The pressure gauge readings have shown that the pressure at B is greater than at A by 0.981 N/
cm“. Neglecting all losses, calculate the flow rate. If the gauges at A and B are replaced by tubes
filled with the same liquid and connected to a U-tube containing mercury, calculate the difference of
level of mercury in the two limbs of the U-tube.
