Question: A venturi meter with an 8 i n . diameter throat is installed in a 1 2 i n . water line. The venturi meter

A venturi meter with an 8in. diameter throat is installed in a 12in. water line.
The venturi meter is perfectly smoth, coefficient of velocity is 1.00. An attached mercury
manometer registers a 4 in. differential. The specific weight of mercury is 0.491lbfin3, the
specific weight of water is.0.0361lbfin3. Volumetric flow rate? I have the solution, what I dont understand is the conversion of the equation to include the specifid weights of mercury and water outlined below.
Q=CA21-(A2A1)222g(P1+z1-P2-z2)2
2g(P1+z1-P2-z2)=>2gmercury(h1-h2wuter)
how?
