The two pipes A and B are at the same elevation. In pipe A, water is present and rises in the tube to a level 63 in above pipe A. An oil is contained in B. The inverted U-tube is filled with gas at 12 psi and 800 F. Atmospheric pressure is 15.68 psia. (a). Calculate the difference in pressure between pipe A and B if the manometer reading is 12 in. Show the answer in psi. (b). Calculate the absolute pressure in B in inches of mercury, and feet of oil (s = 0.87)
