Civil Engineering > GATE 2023 SET-2 > Hydrostatic Pressure
The pressure in a pipe at X is to be measured by an open manometer as shown in figure. Fluid A is oil with a specific gravity of 0.8 and Fluid B is mercury with a specific gravity of 13.6. The absolute pressure at X is kN/m^2 (round off to one decimal place).
[Assume density of water as 1000 kg/m^3 and acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m/s^2 and atmospheric pressure as 101.3 kN/m^2.]
[Assume density of water as 1000 kg/m^3 and acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m/s^2 and atmospheric pressure as 101.3 kN/m^2.]
