ii). Expalin briefly the working principle of Bourdon tube pressure gauge with a neat sketch. (9)
(OR)

b). A U-tube differential manometer connects two pressure pipes A and B. Pipe A contains carbon tetra chloride having relative density of 1.594 under a pressure of 11.772 N/cm2 and pipe B contains oil of relative density 0.8 under a pressure of 11.772 N/cm2.

The pipe A lies 2.5m above pipe B. Find the difference of pressure measured by mercury as fluid filling U-tube.
