Mercury manometer (U-tube type) exemplifies a ______________ order system?
Correct answer: B. Second
- A. Zero
- B. Second
- C. First
- D. Third
Explanation
A U-tube manometer contains liquid inertia and restoring action, with damping from flow resistance, so its dynamic model is generally second order. A zero-order model would represent no storage or dynamic response.
