• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Manometers are used for measuring pressures by balancing the fluid column of fluid against another column of fluid of known specific gravity.
2. Pressure is proportional to the height of a column of fluid.
3. The instrument used to carry out the complete process is termed a manometer.
4. Manometers use the relationship between pressure and head to measure pressure.

Hence, the given statement is false.
