Problem Set B – Manometry


Objectives: This problem set aims to refresh and train students in determining fluid pressure by
employing manometry techniques. Upon completing this activity, it is expected that each student
has fully grasped the context and concepts behind manometry, including the determination of the
static pressure experienced by a fluid element located at any arbitrary point within a single-fluid or a
multi-fluid manometer.
Instruction: Copy each problem on your official work notebook. Solve EVERY problem using the
prescribe approach, i.e., including the problem statement, drawing diagrams when necessary,
stating the given, stating relevant theories, bases, and assumptions, explicitly stating (by underlining
or boxing) the final answer, and writing a brief discussion of your results. Each item is worth 10
points.
Deadline/ Notebook Collection: April 8, 2024

1. A mercury manometer �𝜌𝜌𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 = 13,600 𝑚𝑚3 � is connected to an air duct to measure the
pressure inside. The difference in the manometer levels is 10 mm, and the atmospheric
pressure is 100 kPa. (a) Judging from the figure below, determine if the pressure in the
duct is above or below the atmospheric pressure. (b) Determine the absolute pressure in
the duct.
2. Consider a U-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. Now water is poured into the
𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘
U-tube from one arm, and light oil �𝜌𝜌𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 = 790 �𝑚𝑚3 � from the other. One arm contains
70-cm-high water, while the other arm contains both fluids with an oil-to-water height ratio
of 6. Determine the height of each fluid in that arm.

3. The gage pressure of the air in the tank shown in the figure below is measured to be 65
kPa. Determine the differential height h of the mercury column.
4. The 500-kg load on the hydraulic lift shown in the figure below is to be raised by pouring oil
𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘
�𝜌𝜌𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 = 780 �𝑚𝑚3 � into a thin tube. Determine how high h should be in order to begin
to raise the weight.

5. Two oil tanks are connected to each other through a manometer. If the difference between
the mercury levels in the two arms is 32 in, determine the pressure difference between the
two tanks. The densities of oil and mercury are 45 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙�𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓 3 and 848 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙�𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓 3 ,
respectively.
