A manometer using oil (density 0.900 g/cm3) as a fluid is connected to an air tank. Suddenly the pressure in the tank increases by 7.61 mmHg. Density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm3.
By how much does the fluid level rise in the side of the manometer that is open to the atmosphere?
? cm
Manometer and guage pressure are connected to one gas tank. If the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa and the liquid level in both manometers is different from 0.75 m. (The liquid inside is mercury), find the absolute pressure of the gas tank. this (specify the density of mercury is 13,000 kg/m3)
Shown in figure below, the manometer fluid of density 875 kg/m3 shows a column height difference of 3 cm with one end attached to a pipe and the other open to atmosphere at 101 kPa. What is the absolute pressure in the pipe in psi?
