Question:

A mercury manometer is used to measure the pressure drop across an orifice that is mounted in a vertical pipe. A liquid with a density of $0.87 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ is flowing upward through the pipe and the orifice. The distance between the manometer taps is $1 \mathrm{ft}$. If the pressure in the pipe at the upper tap is $30 \mathrm{psig}$ and the manometer reading is $15 \mathrm{~cm}$, what is the pressure in the pipe at the lower manometer tap in psig?
