Question
1. Manometer is often used to measure the pressure for water and oil tanks in many industries. Figure 1 shows a conical vessel at its outlet at A to which a U-tube manometer is connected. The liquid of the manometer is mercury, which has the relative density of 13.6. The reading of the manometer given in the figure shows when the vessel is empty. (a) Determine h₁ when the vessel is empty. (b) If H = 3.5m, D = 2 m, find the reading of the manometer when the vessel is fully filled with water. Explain whether the reading of the manometer will increase or not if the vessel is filled with oil of SG=0.8. SG is specific gravity. D h₁ 20 cm -X X Figure 1. A sketch of a conical tank connected with a manometer A
