A U-tube manometer is open at one end and has a gas at the other end if the level of the mercury in both legs of the manometer is equal then what is the temperature of the gas?

A U-tube manometer is open at one end and has a gas at the other end if the level of the mercury in both legs of the manometer is equal then what is the temperature of the gas? Correct Answer

Since the level of mercury in both legs are equal, this means that pressure is equal on both ends, => pressure of gas = pressure of atmosphere = 1 atm.

A Differential manometer is connected at the points A and Bat the centre of two pipes. The pipe A(left limb) contains a liquid of specific gravity = 1.5 while pipe B (right limb)contains a liquid of specific gravity 0.85. The pressure at A and B are .5 kgf/cm2 and 1.2 kgf/cm2 respectively. Find the difference in level of mercuru in the differential manometer. A is 2.5m above B and 5 m above the mercury in its own limb. B is 2.5 m above the mercury level in limb A.
