Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A hydraulic press measures a pressure of 150 kPa at point A. If the manometric fluid has a density of 850 kg/m^3 and the height difference measured is 0.2 m, what pressure is at point B if the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa?

💡 Hint: Apply the formula step by step and keep track of units.

Question 2

If an inverted U-tube uses water as the working fluid but bubble gum flavored soda as manometric fluid (with density 1100 kg/m^3), how would you find the pressure difference with a height of 0.15 m? Assume atmospheric pressure remains 101.3 kPa.

💡 Hint: Watch out for density differences; they're key!
