    the pressure at the bottom of the lake. Take  = 1000 kg/m3

    3) A U-tube manometer contains water (density 1000 kg/m3). The manometer is
    connected between two points in a horizontal pipe carrying air (density 1.2
    kg/m3). When the difference in levels is 54 mm what is the pressure difference
    between the two points?

    4) A manometer consists of two tubes A and B, with vertical axes and uniform
    cross-sectional areas 500 mm2 and 800 mm2 respectively, connected by a U-
    tube C of cross-sectional area 70 mm2 throughout. Tube A contains a liquid of
    relative density 0.8, tube B contains one of relative density 0.9. The surface of
    separation between the two liquids is in the vertical side of C connected to tube
    A. Determine the additional pressure that, when applied to tube B, will cause
    the surface of separation to rise 60 mm in tube C.

    If interface rises by 60 mm, then the surface of A rises


    and the surface of B falls.

    5) A closed tank contains compressed air and oil (SGoil=0.90) as shown in the
    figure. A U-tube manometer using mercury (SGHg=13.6) is connected to the
    tank as shown. For column heights h1=72 cm, h2=12 cm and h3=18 cm.
    Determine the pressure reading of the gage.

    6) Pressure gage B is to measure the pressure at point A in a water flow. If the
    pressure at B is 87 kPa, estimate the pressure at A, in kPa. Where

    7) A manometer connects an oil pipeline and a water pipeline as shown in the
    figure. Determine the difference in pressure between the two pipelines using
    the readings on the manometer. Use Soil =0.85 and SHg=13.6

    Solution

    The points of interest have been positioned on the manometer. The pressure at point 2
    is equal to the pressure at point 3:

    Note that the heights must be in meters. The pressure at point 4 is essentially the
    same as that at point 5, since the specific weight of air is negligible compared with
    that of the oil. So,
