pressure-and-its-measurement

1. As we go upwards, at height re is slight decrease in pressure variation.


2. The pressure at a point in fluid is 4.9 N/cm2. Find height when fluid under consideration is in oil of specific gravity of 0.85.


3. Why is large reservoir used in single column manometer?


4. A beaker of height 30 cm is partially filled with a liquid and is rotated by an angle θ as shown.
At this point, pressure at point B is found to be 5 bar. By what angle should θ be increased such that pressure at B gets halved?


5. An open tank contains water upto a depth of 350 cm and above it an oil of specific gravity 0.65 for a depth of 2.5 m. Find pressure intensity at extreme bottom of tank.


6. A beaker of height 10 cm is half-filled with water (Sw = 1) and half-filled with oil (So = 1). At what distance (in cm) from base will pressure be half pressure at base of beaker?


7. Which one of following statements is true regarding pressure?


8. A beaker of height h is completely filled with water. Now two-third of liquid is replaced by anor liquid. If pressure at base of beaker doubled, what is specific gravity of liquid poured?


9. Manometers are pressure measuring devices which use principle of dynamic pressure to measure pressure difference.


10. A closed tank (of height 5 m) is PArtially filled with a liquid as shown. If pressure of air above fluid is 2 bar, find pressure at bottom of tank. Assume density of liquid to vary according to following relation:

where y is height from base
