 Problem 4 (EC): A pitot-static probe will be used to measure

Problem 4 (EC): A pitot-static probe will be used to measure the velocity distribution in a water tunnel at 20 C. The two pressure lines from the probe will be connected to a U-tube manometer which uses a liquid of specific gravity 1.7. The maximum velocity expected in the water tunnel is 2.3 m/s. Your job is to select an appropriate U-tube from a manufacturer which supplies manometers of heights 8, 12, 16, 24 and 36 inches. The cost increases significantly with manometer height. Which of these should you purchase
