Chapter 3, Problem 25P
A rectangular tank, open to the atmosphere, is filled with water to a depth of 2.5 m as shown. A U-tube manometer is connected to the tank at a location 0.7 m above the tank bottom. If the zero level of the Meriam blue manometer fluid is 0.2 m below the connection, determine the deflection l after the manometer is connected and all air has been removed from the connecting leg.

A U-tube differential manometer connects two pressure tubes A and B. Pipe A contains
carbon tetrachloride having specific gravity of 1.6 under a pressure of 120 kPa and pipe B
contains oil of specific gravity 0.8 under a pressure of 200 kPa. The pipe A lies 2.5 m
above pipe B and mercury level in the limb communicating with pipe A lies 4 m below pipe
A. Find the difference in the levels of mercury in the two limbs.
An inverted U-tube manometer containing oil as a
manometric liquid (specific gravity 0.75) is
connected to the two horizontal water pipes at the
points A and B. Pipe B is at lower level when
compared to pipe A. The common level is at 0.4 m
above pipe A and 0.75 m above pipe B. The 0.75 m
height consists of h m of manometric liquid and the
remaining is water. If the pressure in pipe B is 2.5
kPa above the pressure in the pipe A, then
determine the value of differential reading h (in m)
of the manometer.
