Homework Statement


Water flows through a venturi meter, with an inlet diameter of 25cm and a throat diameter of 15cm. The pressure difference is measured using a manometer, which displaces the mercury by 12mm on the throat side.

Is this correct? I have no answers available as its from a past paper. My exam is tommorow and I would just like to clarify that the method I have used to find the pressure difference is correct.

Thanks.
