Question: The pressure difference between before and after the air filter as measured by the U - tube manometer is 1 0 in . H 2

The pressure difference between before and after the air filter as measured by the U-tube manometer is 10 in. H2O. Air temperature is 26, instrument pressure is 60 Ib_f/in^2.(a) Find the pressure drop in units of lb_f/in^2 and atm. (b) Find the error in ignoring the density of air at the manometer connection.
The answer is (a)0.358 lb_f/in^2 and 0.0245 atm, (b)0.62%
*Please remember that it is about lb_f, not just lb
