Question: a . Explain what is meant by forced vortex and derive the expression for the radial pressure distribution in forced vortex. ( 5 marks )

a. Explain what is meant by forced vortex and derive the expression for the radial
pressure distribution in forced vortex. (5 marks)
b. Explain the basic principle involved in measuring pressure and pressure difference
using manometers. Indicate when the use of manometers is advantageous. (8 mark
c. A U-tube manometer has both its limbs enlarged to 25 times the tube area. Initially the
tube is filled to some level with oil of specific weight m. Then both limbs are filled
with fluid of specific weight s to the same level, both limbs being exposed to the
same pressure. When a pressure is applied to one of the limbs the manometric fluid
rises by h m . Derive an expression for the pressure difference in the limbs. In both
cases assume that the liquid level remains in the enlarged section. (12 marks)
a . Explain what is meant by forced vortex and
