Question
Figure 1 shows a fairly large U-tube manometer containing water (density p= 1000.0 kg.m³3)
and oil (density p=900.0 kg.m³). The left-hand side opening is sealed with a rubber stopper.
The height of the oil column is h₂ cm. The height of the water column above the water/oil
boundary is h₁ = 20.00 cm. The external pressure is given by Pout = 100.00 kPa.
(i) Calculate the absolute pressure at the bottom of the oil column.
(ii) Calculate pin, the absolute pressure directly under the rubber stopper.
Express your answers to at least 4 significant figures in SI units.
