4. Two vessels are connected to a differential manometer using mercury, the connecting tubing being filled with water. The higher pressure vessel is 1.50 m lower in elevation than the other. a) If the mercury reading is 110mm, what is the pressure head difference in meters of water? b) If carbon tetrachloride (s = 1.59) were used instead of mercury, what would be the manometer reading for the same pressure difference? Air Water 1.5 m h gage liquid Air Water
