Is the manometer reading proportional to head loss explain


Water at 20°C flows upward at 4 m/s in a 6-cm-diameter pipe. The pipe length between points 1 and 2 is 5 m, and point 2 is 3 m higher. A mercury manometer, connected between 1 and 2, has a reading h =135 mm, with p1 higher.

(a) What is the pressure change ( p1 -p2)?

(b) What is the head loss, in meters?

(c) Is the manometer reading proportional to head loss? Explain. (d) What is the friction factor of the flow?
