Q Negative pressure in a water pipe was measured using U-tube manometer containing mercury (Specific gravity 13.6). The left limb was connected to the water pipe and righ limb was exposed to the atmosphere. Height of water upto centre of pipe in the left limb was 30 mm. Difference between the mercury levels in the two limbs was 50 mm. Determine the vacuum pressure in the pipe and also derive the equation used! 30 mm 50 mm
