Could someone help with this? I'm sure we're missing something simple, but, anyway....
The ends of a U-tubed manometer are connected to two different pipes each containing water. Pipe A is at a higher pressure than pipe B, and pipe A is 0.75m higher than pipe B. The U-tube manometer has a difference in mercury column height of 0.58m. The left hand limb mercury level is the lowest due to the relative higher pressure in pipe A and is 1.5m below the central axis of pipe A.
Assuming that acceleration due to gravity is 9.81m/s^2, and the densities of water and mercury are 1,000kg/m^3 and 13,600kg/m^3 respectively, calculate the difference in pressure between the two water pipes.
Could you show me the method used for your answer, so I understand how the value was calculated?
Thanks in advance.
