Numerical Problem 2

Q1. For the inclined-tube manometer of Fig. below the pressure in pipe A is 4.1 kPa. The fluid in both
pipes A and B is water, and the gage fluid in the manometer has a specific gravity of 2.6. What is the
pressure in pipe B corresponding to the differential reading shown?

Q2. The inverted U-tube manometer of Fig. below contains oil (SG = 0.9) and water as shown. The
pressure differential between pipes A and B, is is 5 kPa. Determine the differential reading, h.

Q3. The inclined differential manometer of Fig. below contains carbon tetrachloride.

Initially the pressure differential between pipes A and B, which contain a brine (SG = 1.1), is zero as
illustrated in the figure. It is desired that the manometer give a differential reading of 30.5 cm.
