A manometer with two tubes are connected to the roof of a car. The first tube points to the front of the car while the other points to the rear. The manometer is filled with a fluid of 0.61 SG. If the height difference is 1.8 inches what is the car's speed? Round your answer to 2 decimal places and in miles per hour.
