The arrangement shown in the figure measures the velocity V of a gas of density 1 kg/m³ flowing through a pipe. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s². If the manometric fluid is water (density 1000 kg/m³) and the velocity V is 20 m/ s, the differential head h(in mm) between the two arms of the manometer is _________.
-
- h = 30.31 mm of water
- h = 10.12 mm of water
- h = 14.38 mm of water
- h = 20.38 mm of water
Correct Option: D
Dynamic pressure of gas = (δgh)water
δgasv2 = δm × 9.81 × h | |

× 1 × (20)² = 1000 × 9.81 × h | |

h = 0.02038 m of water
h = 20.38 mm of water
