Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A differential manometer is connected between two pipes A and B. Pipe A has a pressure of 40 kPa, and pipe B has a pressure of 20 kPa. If the manometer fluid is oil with a density of 800 kg/m³, what height difference will you observe on the manometer?

💡 Hint: Use the pressure difference and rearrange the equation to solve for height.

Question 2

Consider a U-tube manometer with one side filled with water and the other with mercury. If water is at a height of 0.5 m, calculate the equivalent height of mercury at the same pressure difference, given that the density of mercury is 13,600 kg/m³.

💡 Hint: Compare the heights using their respective densities.
