ANSWER THE QUESTION NEATLY AND COMPLETELY.  

 

In the following manometer set-up, di is measured to be 10 in, d2
measures 4 in, d3 measures 14 in, d4 measures 3 in. If SGmercury is 13.55,
a) calculate the pressure difference (in psi) between points A and B
b) if the pressure at B is 15 psi, what is the pressure at A?
Use g = 9.807 m/s? = 32.17 ft/s? and ywater = 9790 N/m³ = 62.4
