Two pipelines, one carrying oil (mass density 900 kg/m³) and the other water, are connected to a manometer as shown in figure. By what amount the pressure in the water pipe should be increased so that the mercury levels in both the limbs of the manometer becomes equal? (Mass density of g mercury = 13550 kg/m³ and 9.81m/s²)
