Q.2 (a) In a vertical pipe conveying oil of specific gravity 0.8, two pressure gauges have been installed at A and B where the diameters are 16 cm and 8 cm respectively. A is 2 meters above B. The pressure gauge reading have shown that the pressure at B is greater than at A by 0.981 N/cm2. Neglecting all losses, calculate the flow rate through the pipe. 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 levels of mercury in the two limbs of the U-tube.

Q.2 (a) In a vertical pipe conveying oil of specific gravity 0.8, two pressure gauges have been
installed at A and B where the diameters are 16 cm and 8 cm respectively. A is 2 meters
above B. The pressure gauge reading have shown that the pressure at B is greater than at
A by 0.981 N/cm?. Neglecting all losses, calculate the flow rate through the pipe. 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 levels of mercury in the two limbs
of the U-tube.
