Liquid manometers
• A manometer is a glass or plastic U-tube
containing one or more fluids such as water,
alcohol, oil, mercury
• If large pressure differences are to be measured,
heavy fluids such as mercury are used, to keep
the size of the manometer to a manageable level
• In a U-shaped manometer, an immiscible liquid
with the liquid contained in a vessel, a tank or a
pipe where we want to measure the pressure is
used

C’ 𝑝𝑁 = 𝑝𝑀 so
the relative pressure in 𝑀 is
𝑝𝑀 − 𝑝𝑎𝑡 = −𝜌𝑔ℎ (24)

2.3.2 Hydrostatic forces on fully submerged solid bodies
• The elementary hydrostatic force acting on the
elementary surface 𝑑𝑆 of area 𝑑𝐴, located at depth ℎ is
given by 𝑑 𝐹Ԧ𝑝 = −𝑝𝑛𝑑𝐴 = − 𝑝∗ + 𝜌𝑙 𝑔ℎ 𝑑𝐴, where 𝜌𝑙 is
the liquid density

2.3.2 Hydrostatic forces on fully submerged solid bodies
• The action of hydrostatic forces on a solid body is reduced
to a vertical force directed upwards
– The magnitude of this buoyant force is equal to the weight of
the fluid displaced by the body, and its line of action passes
through the centroid of the displaced volumeV. This result is
known as Archimedes' principle
– The point through which 𝐹Ԧ𝐵 acts is called the center of
buoyancy, commonly labeled 𝐵 . The point 𝐵 may or may not
correspond to the actual centroid of the body’s own material,
which may have variable density
– If the density 𝜌𝑠 of the submerged body is constant, the location
of its center of gravity corresponds with its centroid. Generally,
if the density 𝜌𝑠 of the submerged body varies, the two points
will not correspond (𝐺 ≠ 𝐵), e.g., the case of a submarine
