Communicating Vessels & Manometer
This interactive simulator explores Communicating Vessels & Manometer in Classical Mechanics. Hydrostatic balance, U-tube ΔP = ρgΔh, and inclined-tube vertical head. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.
Who it's for: Suited to beginners and first exposure to the topic. Typical context: Classical Mechanics.

How it works
Open-tube manometers compare pressures; mercury (high ρ) shortens the column. Communicating vessels equalize level when the fluid is continuous and at rest.
