A manometer containing mercury is connected to two points (A and B)15 m apart, on an inclined pipeline conveying water as shown in the figure. The pipeline is straight and slopes at an angle of 150 with the horizontal. The manometer gives a reading of 150 mm. Calculate the pressure difference between the two points (A and B) of the pipeline. [specific weight of water =9.81 kN/m3, specific gravity of mercury -13.6]
