5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the primary function of a manometer?
Think about how pressure relates to fluid height.
Define hydrostatic pressure.
Consider what happens when a fluid is not moving.
What does a differential manometer measure?
Consider what kind of pressure readings are most useful in fluid dynamics.
True or False: Hydrostatic pressure is the same as atmospheric pressure.
Think about how each pressure type relates to fluid dynamics.
A differential manometer is connected between two pipes A and B. Pipe A has a pressure of 40 kPa, and pipe B has a pressure of 20 kPa. If the manometer fluid is oil with a density of 800 kg/m³, what height difference will you observe on the manometer?
Use the pressure difference and rearrange the equation to solve for height.
Consider a U-tube manometer with one side filled with water and the other with mercury. If water is at a height of 0.5 m, calculate the equivalent height of mercury at the same pressure difference, given that the density of mercury is 13,600 kg/m³.
Compare the heights using their respective densities.
