A piece of experimental apparatus. Fig. P1.54. is located where g = 9.5 m/s 2 and the temperature is 5 ° C . Air flow inside the apparatus is determined by measuring the pressure drop across an orifice with a mercury manometer (density = 13580 kg/m 3 ) showing a height difference of 200 mm. What is the pressure drop in kPa?

Oil of sp.gr. = 0.9 flows through a vertical pipe (upwards). Two points A and B one
above the other 40 cm apart in a pipe are connected by a U-tube carrying mercury. If
the difference of pressure between A and B is 0.2 kg/cm,
1- Find the reading of the manometer.
2- If the oil flows through a horizontal pipe, find the reading in manometer for the
same difference in pressure between A and B.

6 Compressed gas tanks often have gage pressures of at least 1 MPa. Suppose you wished to use a
manometer to measure the gage pressure of a compressed air tank whose pressure was at least 1
MPa. The manometer would be set up between the tank and the atmosphere. What is the minimum
length of tube needed for such a measurement if the liquid in the manometer is (a) mercury (p =
13,500 kg/m² ), (b) water (p = 1000 kg/m³ ), and (c) engine oil (p = 880 kg/m2 )? Do these seem to be
practical devices for such a measurement?
