Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A U-tube manometer measures pressure in a hydraulic system. The pressure at point P1 is 200 kPa, while P2 is unknown. The liquid in the tube is mercury with a height difference of 0.3 m. Find P2 accounting for mercury's density.

💡 Hint: Use pressure principles along with the hydrostatic equilibrium equations.

Question 2

In an inverted U-tube manometer, the manometric liquid has a density of 900 kg/m³. The working fluid’s density is 1,000 kg/m³, with recorded heights as 0.5 m for the lighter fluid. Calculate the necessary pressure difference.

💡 Hint: Remember that inverting changes the interpretation of height in your equations.
