The left limb of a Simple U-tube manometer containing mercury is open to atmosphere, while the right limb is connected to a pipe in which a fluid of specific gravity 0.75 is flowing. The center of pipe is 9.5 cm below the level of mercury in the left limb. Find the pressure of fluid in the pipe if the difference of mercury level in the two limbs is 21.5 cm with the help of a diagram.

A U-tube mercury manometer has been employed to measure the pressure of gas following through a pipe line. One limb of the manometer communicates with the gas pressure and the other limb is open to atmosphere. If the difference in level of mercury in the two limb is 40 cm, determine the gas pressure.
Consider a differential manometer whose ends are connected to two different pipes A andB and containing different liquids at different levels. Let us assume that the pressure at point A is more than that at point B. Oil is in pipe A whose density 800 kg/m³ shows a difference in mercury levels as 100 mm. The height of oil between center of pipe A to the mercury level in left limb is 200 mm. Methanol (relative density 0.791) is in pipe B and the height of Methanol between center of pipe B and mercury level in the right limb is 5 cm. Calculate the difference in pressures at the two points A and B.
A U-tube containing mercury (sg = 13.6) has itsright-hand limb open to the atmosphere and the left-handlimb connected to a pipe conveying water under pressure,the difference in the level of mercury in the two limbs being200 mm. If the mercury level in the left-hand limb is 400 mmbelow the pipe's center line, find the pipeline's absolutepressure (kPa). Also, find the new difference in levels ofmercury in the U-tube if the pressure in the pipe falls by 2kPa.

A water-filled U-tube manometer is used to measure the pressure inside a tank thatcontains air. The water level in the U-tube on the side that connects the tank is 1.5 mabove the base of the tank. The water level in the other side of the U-tube (which isopen to the atmosphere) is 0.6 m above the base. Determine the pressure within thetank.
A U-Tube with both ends open to the atmosphere contains mercury in the lower portion. In the left leg, water stands 750 mm above the surface of the mercury; in the other leg, oil with Gs= 0.8 stands 540 mm above the surface of the mercury. Determine the difference in elevation between surfaces of oil and water columns.
