Question

A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tank. The fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differential height between the two arms of the manometer is 28 in. determine the density

Answer 1

Answer:

77.88 lbm/ft³

Explanation:

Given,

Specific gravity, SG = 1.25

Density of water, ρ = 62.30 lbm/ft³

density of the fluid =

   = S.G x ρ_{water}

   = 62.30 x 1.25

   = 77.88 lbm/ft³

Density of the fluid is equal to 77.88 lbm/ft³
