Two pipelines, one carrying oil (mass density 900 kg/m³) and the other water, are connected to a manometer as shown in figure. By what amount the pressure in the water pipe should be increased so that the mercury levels in both the limbs of the manometer becomes equal? (Mass density of g mercury = 13550 kg/m³ and 9.81m/s²)

Answer the question considering the information given in the picture D)What would happen to the difference in height in the two piezometric tubes if the oil is changed for another liquid, with different density and viscosity, maintaining the same flow rate? Explain qualitatively in which case it can increase, decrease or remain the same and why
The figure below shows a manometer connected to a pipeline containing oil of specific gravity 0.8. If the specific gravity of mercury is 13.6, the pressure head of oil in terms of height of the water will be: Oil Mercury 0.75 m 0.25m
In a system, an open cylindrical steel tank, which has a density of 7820 kg/m^3, has an inside diameter of 4.0 m and an internal height of 5.0 m. From being initially empty, exactly 2,582.13 slugs of water were poured into the tank. Next, another liquid mass, equivalent to 1,626.742 slugs, was poured inside the tank. After settling, this fluid occupied three-tenths of the total internal height of the container. Then, mercury was poured into the tank. After the fluid has settled, the height of the mercury layer was measured to be one-fifth of a meter. Finally, oil, with S.G.=0.80, was poured to fill the remaining empty volume of the tank. 1) Draw the vertical profile of the tank and label properly all the liquid layers, indicating properly the value of specific gravity used for each liquid layer. 2) What is the total mass of the system if the tank itself has a volume of 2.29 m^3? 3)Solve for the hydrostatic gage pressure at the liquid surface, at the interfaces between any two…
Mercury is often used in thermometers. The mercury sits in a bulb on the bottom of the thermometer and rises up a thin capillary tube as the temperature rises. Suppose a mercury thermometer contains 8,380g of mercury and has a capillary that is 0.400mm in diameter. How far does the mercury rise in the capillary when the temperature changes from 0.0 0C to 25.0 0C?
Refer to the picture below to solve the following problems
The water tank has a diameter of 750mm , a height of 1750mm to which the Initial height of water was 5 cm. If water was to be filled 90% of height and the water meter initial reading is 2000L, a. what is the final reading of the water in L b. Find the mass of water tank if its initial weight is 45 kg
Oil is filled within a tall cylindrical tank. A flat disk with a height of 1 cm and with a diameter of 5 cm is placed into the oil. There occurs a narrow spacing of 0.1 mm between the disk and the tank wall. Due to the forces acting on the disk, it moves downward, and after some time, the speed of the disk reaches a terminal velocity. Beyond this moment, measurements reveal that the disk moves 30 cm in 4 seconds. If the oil density is 600 kg/m3and the specific gravity of the disk is 1.5, determine the oil’s viscosity.
A U-tube manometer is used to measure the pressure in an oil pipe A as shown in the figure. The specific gravity of oil of 0.8 and that of mercury is 13.6. The equivalent gauge pressure is nearly
