Manometer Problems and Solutions

This document contains problems related to fluid statics from a chapter on the principle of fluid statics. It includes 5 problems for discussion and 5 problems for students to work through related to pressure measurements and calculations using devices like manometers, U-tubes, and differential pressure measurements. The problems involve determining pressure differences, elevations, or unknown values given information about fluid properties, device setups, and known pressure readings.

GROUP 2

CHAPTER 2: PRINCIPLE OF FLUID STATICS

PROBLEMS FOR DISCUSSION


1. For a gage reading at A of -2.50 psi, determine the (a) elevations of the liquids in the open
piezometer columns E, F, and G and (b) deflection of the mercury in the U-tube gage in Fig. 2-14.
Neglect the weight of the air.

2. A differential manometer is attached to a pipe, as shown in Fig. 2.34. Calculate the pressure
difference between points A and B.

3. The inclined manometer in Fig. 2-54a contains Meriam red manometer oil (s.g. = 0.827). Assume the
reservoir is very large. What should the angle theta be if each inch along the scale is to represent a
change of 0.8 lb/ft2 in gage pressure pA?

4. Determine the pressure difference between points A and B in Fig. 2-51.

5. In Fig. 2-49, water is contained in A and rises in the tube to a level 85 in above A; glycerin is
contained in B. The inverted U-tube is filled with air at 23 psi and 70 F. Atmospheric pressure is
14.6 psi. Determine the difference in pressure (psi) between A and B if y is 16 in. What is the absolute
pressure in B in inches of mercury and in feet of glycerin?

PROBLEMS FOR SEATWORK:


1. A gas holder at sea level contains illuminating gas under a pressure equivalent to 9 cm of water.
What pressure in mm of water is expected in a distributing pipe at a point 160 m above sea level?
Consider standard atmospheric pressure at sea level and assume the unit weights of air and gas to
be constant at all elevation with values of 12 N/m3 and 6 N/m3, respectively.
2. A piece of timber 9m long and having a 40 cm by 30 cm section is placed in a body of water in a
vertical position. If the timber weighs 6.5 KN/m3 what vertical force is required to hold it with its
upper end flush with the oil surface (S.G = 0.85).
3. Calculate the pressure, in kPa, at A, B, C, and Din Fig. 2-8.

4. In Fig. F, find the pressure and pressure head at point m: Fluid A is oil (SG = 0.85), fluid B is carbon
tetrachloride (s= 1.50) and fluid C is air. (Figure at page 57)
5. In figure N, x = 25 cm initially. If the pressure at m is increased by 35 KPa while maintaining the
pressure at n constant, calculate the new value of x. (Figure at page 61)
