Question

A mercury manometer is connected to a large reservoir of water as shown in Fig. P2.35. Determine the ratio, hw/hm, of the distances hw and hm indicated in the figure.

Robert · Accepted Answer

At the surface of reservoir, 
Pa=0, 
At the surface of tube, 
Pb=0,  Since both are exposed to atmosphere 
Taking reference any horizontal line,  
The pressure above the line are equating, 
mmbwwa ghPghP    
mmww ghgh    
mwww ghGgh    
Thus Hw/Hm=G

A mercury manometer is connected to a large reservoir of water as shown in Fig. P2.35. Determine the ratio, h w /h m , of the distances h w and h m indicated in the figure.
