Question 33
CE-2NAT1 markNeeds review
The pressure in a pipe at X is to be measured by an open manometer as shown in figure. Fluid A is oil with a specific gravity of 0.8 and fluid B is mercury with a specific gravity of 13.6. The absolute pressure at X is __________ kN/m² (round off to one decimal place). [Assume density of water as 1000 kg/m³ and acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m/s² and atmospheric pressure as 101.3 kN/m²]
