6. One leg of mercury U-tube manometer is connected to a pipe containing water under a gage pressure of 14.2 lb/in. The mercury in this leg stands 30 in below the water. What is the height of mercury in the other leg, which is open to the air? 7. In a hydraulic press, the small cylinder has a diameter of 8 cm, while the larger piston has a diameter of 22 cm. If the force of 600 N is applied to the small piston, what is the force on the large piston, neglecting friction?
