The pressure gauges are inserted at A and B in a vertical pipe converging water.  The diameters at A and B are 150mm and 75mm respectively. The point B is 2.3m below point A.  When rate of flow down the pipe is 0.021m³/s.  The pressure at B is 117.72 KN/m² greater than at A. 

The losses in pipe between A and B are expressed as(KVa²/2g)  where Va is velocity of A. Find the value of K. 

If the pressure gauges at A and B are replaced by tubes filled with water and connectef to a u-tube containing Hg(SHg=13.6) calculate the value of the reading manometer.
