*************************************************************

1- A mercury manometer is connected to a large reservoir of water as shown


in Fig.1. Determine the ratio, hw/hm, of the distances hw and hm indicated
in the figure.

2- A closed cylindrical tank filled with water has a hemispherical dome and
is connected to an inverted piping system as shown in Fig.2. The liquid in
the top part of the piping system has a specific gravity of 0.8, and the
remaining parts of the system are filled with water. If the pressure gage
reading at A is 60 kPa, determine: (a) the pressure in pipe B, and (b) the
pressure head, in millimetres of mercury, at the top of the dome (point C).

3- Two pipes are connected by a manometer as shown in Fig.3.Determine the


pressure difference, pA - pB, between the pipes.

Fig. 3. Fig. 4.
4- The cylindrical tank with hemispherical ends shown in Fig.4 contains a
volatile liquid and its vapor. The liquid density is 800 kg m-3,and its vapor
density is negligible. The pressure in the vapor is 120 kPa (abs), and the
atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa(abs). Determine: (a) the gage pressure
reading on the pressure gage; and (b) the height, h, of the mercury
manometer.

5- The inverted U-tube manometer of Fig. 5 contains oil (SG = 0.92) and water
as shown. The pressure differential between pipes A and B, is pA - pB, -5
kPa . Determine the differential reading, h.

6- In Fig. 6 pipe A contains gasoline (S.G.= 0.7), pipe B contains oil (S.G.=
0.9), and the manometer fluid is mercury. Determine the new differential
reading if the pressure in pipe A is decreased 25 kPa, and the pressure in
pipe B remains constant. The initial differential reading is 0.30 m as shown.
