A well-type inclined manometer has a gas pressure difference of 17 cm-of-water at its ports (higher pressure to well). If the manometer is inclined at an angle of 12 degrees and contains water, what is the reading on the manometer (i.e. R)?

Answer:

New reading of water = 81.76 cm² (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Pressure difference = 17 cm

θ = 12°

Find:

New reading of water

Computation:

New reading of water = Pressure difference / Sinθ

New reading of water = 17 / sin 12

New reading of water = 81.76 cm² (Approx)
