What is the pressure difference psi if a room temperature ma
What is the pressure difference (psi) if a room temperature manometer reads 50 cm height of water?
Solution
Height of water ,h=50 cm =0.5 m
Density of water, p=1000 kg/m^3
acceleartion due to gravity,g=9.81 m/s^2
S pressure difference in SI units, P=pgh=4905 Pa
1 pascal = 0.000145037738 psi
So converting gives
P~0.711 psi
