A fluid system shows a pressure difference of 60 mm of mercury between two points. If the densities of the fluid and mercury are 900 kg/m³ and 1300 kg/m³, respectively, calculate the height of the fluid column in meters.
💡 Hint: Make sure to convert all units to SI before calculating.
Design a simple experiment using a U-tube manometer to demonstrate pressure differences in different fluid densities. What materials will you use, and what observations will you record?
💡 Hint: Consider how the fluids will interact and what measurements you’ll take.
