Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction

In this problem, we will compute the pressure difference between points a and b by first calculating the pressure at limb a and pressure at limb b, and then calculating the pressure difference between points a and b while taking into account the atmospheric pressure effect.

Given data:

the difference of height h=12 cmthe pressure at column A P=101 kPathe specific volume of kerosene v=0.00122 m3/kgthe acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s2

 

Determine:

The difference in the pressure between point a and point b.
