Chapter 3, Problem 24P
A reservoir manometer has vertical tubes of diameter D = 18 mm and d = 6 mm. The manometer liquid is Meriam red oil. Develop an algebraic expression for liquid deflection L in the small tube when gage pressure Δp is applied to the reservoir. Evaluate the liquid deflection when the applied pressure is equivalent to 25 mm of water gage.
