I still don't understand why didnt you treat the distance from C to D the same way as from D to E? Its inclined too right? Pls help me
Great video btw

[@CPPMechEngTutorials]

The main point is that only the vertical distance matters when determining pressure changes in manometers. Inclined tube manometers usually have distance markings along the length of the tube, so whomever designs the tubes will have to account for this.

[@blexaarron]

pressure only changes due to change in elevation. "h_2" is given which is the elevation change from C to D. Now, from point D to E we do not know the elevation change but we do have the length the fluid travels, "L" and the angle "theta" and using trigonometry we can find the vertical distance from point D to E.

I think the problem he has copied from is showing the vertical distance. in my case, it is 3 inches on both ends.

You're welcome.

[@HP-wy8dr]

Can you cite wherever you got this from so that I can put this in my report? Thanks

[@osuwatchdog7154]

thanks well explained

No thick Indian accent ? That's a pleasant surprise 😂

[@CPPMechEngTutorials]

Would you like us to change the narrator?
