Question: Fluid properties 1 . Define absolute pressure 2 . Define absolute and gauge pressure 3 . List at least three ways to improve the sensitivity

Fluid properties
1. Define absolute pressure
2. Define absolute and gauge pressure
3. List at least three ways to improve the sensitivity of a manometer
4. List at least two ways in which the sensitivity to pressure change for a U-tube manometer can be improved
5. Use a well labelled schematic diagram to demonstrate how the sensitivity of a utube manometer can be improved, particularly for a small pressure difference
6. Show that for any fluid at rest and under gravitational acceleration, pressure (P) decreases, with increasing height \((z)\) in the upward direction.
7. "The absolute pressure in a liquid of constant density doubles when the depth is doubled." Qualify the statement above as true or false with an explanation.
8. In a pipeline water is flowing. A monometer is used to measure the pressure drop for flow through the pipe. The difference in level was found to be 20 cm . If the manometric fluid is \(\mathrm{CCl}_{4}\), determine the pressure drop in S .I units (\(\rho_{C C l_{4}}=1.596\)\(\mathrm{g}/\mathrm{cm}^{3}\)). If the manometric fluid is changed to mercury (\(\left.\rho_{\mathrm{Hg}}=13.6\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{cm}3\right)\) calculate the difference in level?
