Fig shows a U-tube differential manometer connecting two pressure pipes at A and B. Pipe A contains a liquid of specific gravity 1.5 under the pressure of 103 kN/m². The pipe B contains oil of specific gravity 0.7 under the pressure of 209 kN/m². Find the difference of pressure measured by mercury as fluid filling U-tube in mm. The value of x and y are 2.3 m and 1 m respectively.
