A U-tube is partly filled with mercury and an unknown liquid is poured into it through the other arm. The surface of the separation of the liquids is at the 6.35 cm mark, the 0 marks being at the tube’s bottom. The free surface of mercury is at 8.46 cm while that of the unknown liquid at 28.24 cm. If the density of mercury is 13.6 g/cc, calculate the density of the unknown liquid.

A Y-shaped tube is inserted upside down so that the left foot and right foot are immersed in two kinds of liquid. After both feet are immersed in the liquid, then the top of the Y pipe is closed with the finger and pulled upwards, so that the two legs of the Y pipe are filled with a column of different high-density liquids. If the density of the first liquid is 0.80 gram.cm³ and the second density is 0.75 gram.cm³, and the lower liquid column is 8 cm, then determine the height difference between the two liquid columns on U pipe.

The micromanometer (as shown in the figure) is used to increase the accuracy when measuring small pressure di§erences. Two immiscible liquids (meaning they remain in separate layers when put together in the same container ñ they do not mix) having densities 1 and 2 are used in thismanometer. Flasks A and B contain gasses so that A; B 1; p2. (a) Find an expression for the pressure di§erence, pA pB, in terms of given quantities.(b) If the cross-sectional area of the U-tube is a and the cross-sectional area of the cylindrical containers is A, Önd an expression for h in terms of a, A, and l. You may assume that h = l = 0 when pA = pB.(c) Show that by having a=A very small and 1 2, a small pressure change results in a largecolumn displacement, l, thus making the instrument very sensitive to small pressure differences

Two spherical vessels of different sizes contain the same gas and are connected by means of a pipe with a valve. Sphere A has a diameter of 5 foot at the given pressure gauge of 50 kgf/cm2. Sphere B contains the same gas at 20 kgf/cm² gauge. The valve is opened and when the properties have been determined, it is found out that the gauge pressure is 36 kgf/cm2. The temperature at the two vessels before and after opening the valve is maintained at 21.1°C. If the barometric pressure is 750 torr and the gas inside the sphere is oxygen, find the following: The volume of sphere A is 113097.33 in3 The pressure of sphere A is 711.43 psia The temperature of sphere A is 529.98 R The pressure at sphere B in psia Temperature at sphere B in F The pressure of the gas when mixed in psia The temperature of the gas when mixed in K The atmospheric pressure in psi The diameter of Sphere B The total mass of the gas after opening the valve
