5. U-shaped manometer pressure gauge contains oil with a specific gravity of 0.95. A gas container is connected to one side of the pressure gauge and the other is in the atmosphere. The height of the oil connected to the atmosphere is 500mm higher than the height of the oil on the gas container side. What is the pressure of the gas in the container when the atmospheric pressure is 765mmHg? (However, gravity + 1 7 5 2 6 9.81m/s^ 2)
