Due to unavailability of mercury, a barometer was constructed using water in the closed column with a certain amount of oil on top to prevent the boiling of the water. For standard atmospheric pressure, what height of oil will be required and how high will the column of water be if the minimum pressure at the water-oil interface is to be 1 psia? Water density is 62.4 lb/ft³; specific gravity of oil is 0.8.
