Why U-tube is inverted in inverted differential manometer?
The U-tube in an inverted differential manometer is inverted because it allows the device to measure pressure differences accurately. When one side of the U-tube is connected to a system with higher pressure than the other side, the liquid in the U-tube moves to create a visible difference that can be measured. If the U-tube were not inverted, the liquid would not move, and accurate pressure readings could not be obtained.
