In a pipeline, two points A and B are connected to a differential manometer reading a height difference of 10 cm. The density of the manometric fluid is 800 kg/m³. Calculate the pressure difference between points A and B.
💡 Hint: Convert cm to meters and use the acceleration due to gravity.
A mercury manometer shows a height difference of 15 cm between two points in a pipe, with the density of mercury being 13,600 kg/m³. What is the pressure difference?
💡 Hint: Remember to use the right density for mercury while calculating.
