Question:

The system in Fig P1.65 is used to estimate the pressure p1 in the tank by measuring the 15-cm height of liquid in the 1-mm-diameter tube. The fluid is at 60°C. Calculate the true fluid height in the tube and the percent error due to capillarity if the fluid is
(a) Water; and
(b) Mercury.
