Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A U-tube manometer has two different liquids, one of density 800 kg/m³ and another of 1200 kg/m³. If the heights of the two liquids are 10 m and 5 m respectively, calculate the pressure difference between the two points it measures.
💡 Hint: Remember to apply P = ρgh for each fluid.
Suppose a differential manometer connected to two points in a pipe system indicates a height difference of 0.3 m of water. Calculate the pressure difference in pascals assuming the density of water is 1000 kg/m³.
💡 Hint: Use the hydrostatic equation well to relate height and pressure.
