Same pressure points , 2 fluids u shaped tube
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the pressure dynamics in a U-shaped tube containing two different fluids, analyzed using Pascal's principle, expressed as p = ρgh. It is established that the pressures at points C and D are equal, while the pressures at points A and B differ due to the presence of different fluids. The equilibrium of the fluids is maintained despite the pressure difference at A and B, as demonstrated by the equations p_A + ρ_left * g(x+h) = p_D and p_B + ρ_right * g(x+h) = p_C.
