Consider a U-tube mercury manometer oriented vertically. One end is completely sealed with a total vacuum above the column of mercury. The other end is open to the atmosphere where the atmospheric pressure is that for standard sea level. What is the displacement height of the mercury in centimeters, and in which end is the mercury column the highest?The density of mercury is 1.36 × 104 kg/m3.
