In a water-containing manometer, the differential pressure (ΔP) is read as equal to 1 in 20 atmospheric pressure. Accordingly, how many meters is the water height in the manometer?
(ρwater = 997 kg/m³, P0 = 101.3 kPa, g = 9,81 m/s²)
A pressurized vessel contains water with some air above it, as shown below. A multi-fluid manometer system is used to determine the pressure at the airwater interface, point F? h1 = 0.24 m, h2 = 0.35 m and h3 = 0.52 m Fluid densities are water: 1000 kg/m3 , oil: 790 kg/m3 and mercury(Hg): 13,600 kg/m3 .
A diver’s watch resists an absolute pressure of 5.5 bar. At an ocean having density of 1025 kg/m3 and exposing an atmospheric pressure of 1 bar, what depth can maximally the diver dive to prevent water inlet into his watch? 1 bar = 105 Pa and g = 9.81 m/s2.
