Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Calculate the pressure difference between two points in a pipe using a U-tube manometer filled with mercury. If the left arm height is 20 cm and the right arm is 15 cm, what's the pressure in Pa?
💡 Hint: Ensure you convert heights to meters and use the density of the specific fluid!
If an inclined manometer reads a height of 25 cm at an angle of 30 degrees, what is the pressure differential?
💡 Hint: Remember to break down the inclination into its vertical component before calculating.
