A vertical U-tube manometer is open to the atmosphere and contains a liquid that has an SG of 0.87 and a vapor pressure of 450 mmHg at the operating temperature. The vertical tubes are 4 in. apart, and the level of the liquid in the tubes is 6 in. above the bottom of the manometer. The manometer is then rotated about a vertical axis through its centerline. Determine what the rotation rate would have to be (in rpm) for the liquid to start to boil.
