A U-tube manometer contains water on one side and oil on the other. The height of the oil column is 0.2 m, and its density is 850 kg/m³. Determine the water height in the manometer if the atmospheric pressure is 101325 Pa.
💡 Hint: Equate the pressure of both sides to find the unknown height.
A differential manometer is used between two tanks with liquid A (density = 950 kg/m³) and liquid B (density = 1200 kg/m³). If the pressure in tank A is 150 kPa and in B is 200 kPa, what is the pressure difference displayed on the manometer?
💡 Hint: Use the densities and heights to figure out how pressure impacts fluid columns.
