Question

The manometer shown is not drawn to scale. Broken lines are added to denote that they are of the same height (Example: The red broken line signifies that the bottom part of the 175cm is of the same level as the bottom part of the 112cm). In the manometer shown, if water has a density of 999 kg/m3 and mercury has a density of 13.61 kg/dm3, (g = 9.81m/s2)

 

A) Calculate PX - PY (in mmHg)
