Liquid manometers measure differential pressure by balancing the weight of a liquid between two pressures. Light liquids such as water can measure small pressure differences; mercury or othe heavy liquids are used for large pressure differences. A 150 inclined manometer containing mercury is connected to tw taps A an B containing water. Tap B is 5 ft vertically higher than Ta When the pressure in Tap B is 5 psi, the manometer reads 4 inche along the inclined tube. Calculate the new manometer reading (in inches) if the pressure in Tap A is increased by 3 psi.
