A pitot tube is connected to a main pipeline of diameter 16 cm. The difference in height of the water columns in the two arms of the tube is 10 cm. Determine the rate of flow of water through the main pipe.

A U-tube of uniform bore containing paraffin oil in one limb and water in the other is placed vertically on a table. The top and the bottom of the paraffin oil column from the table are respectively at heights of 18.4 cm and 6.4 cm. The top of the water column is 16.6 cm above the table. Calculate the specific gravity of paraffin oil.

The cross-sectional area of the left limb of a U-tube is one-third of that of its right limb. It contains some mercury. The empty space in the left limb measures to 40 cm. If water is poured to fill it up, then find the rise of the mercury column in the right limb. (Specific gravity of mercury = 13.6)

A U-tube is partly filled with water. A liquid, immiscible in water, is poured into one arm until the level of the liquid comes to a height h above the water level in the other arm. The water in the second arm is at a height d above its previous level in this arm. Calculate the density of the liquid.

A U-tube is partially filled with mercury. Kerosene oil is poured into one of its limbs and glycerine into the other. It is observed that, when the height of the kerosene oil becomes 20 cm and that of glycerine becomes 12.68 cm, the levels of the mercury column in the two limbs are at the same horizontal level. If the density of kerosene oil is 0.8g*cm^(-3) , then find that of glycerine.

A U-tube is almost half-filled with mercury. The wider limb has an area of cross-section of 2cm^(2) , and the cross-section of the narrow limb is 1cm^(2) . If 52cm^(3) of water is poured into the wider limb, then what will be the depression of the mercury level in that limb? The density of mercury = 13.6g*cm^(-3) .
