The pressure of gas flowing through a pipe is to be measured with simple U-tube mercury manometer. Left arm of the U-tube is connected gas pipe while right arm is open to atmosphere. Calculate the absolute pressure of the gas when the level of mercury, in the arm open to atmosphere is:
Case (A) 300 mm higher than the level of mercury in left arm and
Case (B) 200 mm lower than the level of mercury in left arm.
Draw sketch of the system for Case (A) and Case (B).
Given:
Atmospheric pressure = 10 m of water column
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/sec2.
Density of mercury = 13600 kg/m3.
