Practice Questions-3 - Static Fluid - Part 1 - Manometers

The document contains 5 practice questions about using manometers to measure fluid pressure. Manometers use fluid columns of varying heights and densities in sealed tubes to gauge pressure differences between points. The questions provide diagrams of different manometer setups and ask the reader to calculate pressure values based on factors like atmospheric pressure, fluid densities, and column height differences.

Practice Questions-2- Static Fluid- Manometers

1) A manometer is used to measure the pressure of a gas in a tank. The fluid used has a specific
gravity of 0.85, and the manometer column height is 55 cm, as shown in Figure 1.. If the
local atmospheric pressure is 96 kPa, determine the absolute pressure within the tank.

Figure 1

2) The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multifluid
manometer as shown in Figure 2. The tank is located on a mountain at an altitude of 1400
m where the atmospheric pressure is 85.6 kPa. Determine the air pressure in the tank if h1 =
0.1 m, h2 = 0.2 m, and h3 = 0.35 m. Take the densities of water, oil, and mercury to be 1000
kg/m3, 850 kg/m3, and 13,600 kg/m3, respectively.

3) A Differential manometer is connected at the two points A and B of two pipes as shown in
Figure 3. The pipe A contains a liquid of sp. gr. = 1.5 while pipe B contains a liquid of sp.
gr. = 0.9. The pressures at A and B are 1 kgf/cm2 and 1.80 kgf/cm2 respectively. Find the
difference in mercury level in the differential manometer. (1kgf=9.81 N)

Figure 3

4) Water is flowing through two different pipes to which an inverted differential manometer
having an oil of sp. gr. 0.8 is connected. The pressure head in the pipe A is 2 m of water,
find the pressure in the pipe B for the manometer readings as shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4

5) An inverted U-tube manometer is connected to two horizontal pipes A and B through which
water is flowing. The vertical distance between the axes of these pipes is 30 cm. When an
oil of specific gravity 0.8 is used as a gauge fluid, the vertical heights of water columns in
the two limbs of the inverted manometer (when measured from the respective centre lines
of the pipes) are found to be same and equal to 35 cm. Determine the difference of pressure
between the pipes.
