81.  The device which may be used for measuring small differences pressure is
A. U-tube manometer B. inclined manometer
C. mercury barometer D. hydrometer

82.  In a mercury differential manometer used for measuring pressure differences across a venturimeter in a water pipeline if an error of 1 mm has been made in observing a differential head of 20 mmthe percentage error in pressure difference is
A. 4.76 B. 0.05
C. 5 D. 1

83.  A mercury-water manometer has a gage difference of 0.7 m (difference in elevation of menisci). The difference in pressure measured in metres of water is
A. 0.7 B. 9.52
C. 8.82 D. 9.17

84.  A mercury (? = 13.6 ?water) barometer has a column height of 29 in. The barometric pressure in psi is
A. 14.696 B. 14.24
C. 0.23 D. not determinable from data given

85.  When the barometer reads 740 mm Hg 20 x 103 N/m2 suction is the same as
A. 8.027 M Hg abs B. 8.027 ft H2O abs
C. 8.027 m H2O abs D. 8.027 cm H2O abs

86.  With the barometric reading of 28 in Hg 10 psia is equivalent to
A. 37.57 psi suction B. 10 psi suction
C. 13.757 psi suction D. 23.757 psi suction

87.  A U-tube of uniform cross-section is partially filled with a liquid A. Another liquid B which does not mix with liquid A is pour3ed into one side. It is found that the liquid levels of the two sides of the tube are the same. While the level of liquid A has risen by 2 cm. If the specifics gravity of liquid A is 1.1 the specific gravity of liquid B must be
A. 1.12 B. 1.1
C. 1.02 D. 1.0.

88.  A tube of length h which is wide enough to make surface tension effects negligible is closed at one end. It is then lowered into a tank of mercury of depth h and the mercury rises to a distance x into the tube. If the mercury barometer stands at h also then
A. (2h-x) (h-x) = h2 B. h(h-x) = h2
C. (2h-x) (h+x) = h2 D. 2h(h-x) = h2

89.  The buoyant force on a floating/submerged body is
A. a force due to gravity and acts downward B. equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the body and acts vertically upward
C. the resultant force on a body due to the fluid surrounding it D. the force necessary to maintain equilibrium of a submerged body

90.  A floating body displaces a volume of liquid equal to
A. its own weight B. its submerged weight
C. its own volume D. its submerged volume.
