Test: Measurement of Pressure - GATE MCQ

A well of cross-sectional area a_w is connected to an inclined tube of cross-sectional area a_t to form a differential pressure gauge as shown in the figure below. When p₁ = p₂ the common liquid level is denoted by A. When p₁ > p₂, the liquid level in the well is depressed to B, and the level in the tube rises by l along its length such that the difference in the tube and well levels is h_d.

The angle of inclination of the tube with the horizontal is:

The diameter of an aluminium sphere is found to be 50 mm at atmospheric pressure of 10⁵ Pa. The bulk modulus for aluminium is 68.6 GPa. The change in the diameter of the sphere in microns, when placed in a vacuum is

A pressure sensor has the following specifications. Sensitivity at the design temperature

= 10 V/MPa, Zero drift = 0.01 V/°C, Sensitivity drift = 0.01 (V/MPa)/°C When the sensor is used in an ambient 20°C above the design temperature, the output from the device is 7.4 V. The true value of the pressure will be

A piezoelectric type 50 MPa full-scale pressure sensor with built-in electronics has a sensitivity of 100 mV per MPa. If this sensor is subjected to a static pressure of 10 MPa then its output will be
