A typical differential manometer is attached to two sections A and B in a horizontal pipe through which water is flowing at a steady rate as shown in Figure 4. The deflection of mercury in the manometer is 0.60 m. Calculate the difference in pressure between sections Aand B. Take the densities of water and mercury as 1000 kg/m3 and 13570 kg/m3 respectively.
From the measured values shown, determine if the measurements are within the required precision. Show all computations. Allowable precision is 1/5000.
