Assume you have a U-shaped, hollow tube (we call it a manometer) with Karo syrup (density 1200 kgm-3) in it such that both arms are half filled. What would happen if you added a given mass of water (1000 kgm-3) into one of the arms of the manometer? (the mass has less volume than half the arm of the manometer)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
F=mg=v*p*g F=(1000kgm-3)(9.8m/s2)=9800N
A manometer is a scientific instrument used for measuring pressure, typically in gases and liquids.
A manometer works by measuring the difference in height between two columns of liquid, which is directly proportional to the pressure being measured.
Yes, a manometer can be used to indirectly measure density and mass by using the pressure measurements and applying the ideal gas law.
The relationship between manometer, density, and mass is that the pressure measured by the manometer can be used to calculate the density and mass of a gas or liquid sample.
The accuracy of a manometer in measuring density and mass depends on several factors such as the precision of the instrument, the conditions of the sample being measured, and the skill of the user. With proper calibration and usage, a manometer can provide accurate measurements.
