What is the pressure difference (psi) if a room temperature manometer reads 80 cm height of alcohol?
Solution
Height of alcohol, h=0.8 m
Density of alcohol,p=790 kg/m^3
acceleration due to gravity, g=9.81 m/s^2
So pressure difference in SI units ,P=pgh=6199.92 Pa
1 pascal = 0.000145037738 psi
HEnce P~0.899 psi
