A U-tube containing mercury (sg = 13.6) has itsright-hand limb open to the atmosphere and the left-handlimb connected to a pipe conveying water under pressure,the difference in the level of mercury in the two limbs being200 mm. If the mercury level in the left-hand limb is 400 mmbelow the pipe's center line, find the pipeline's absolutepressure (kPa). Also, find the new difference in levels ofmercury in the U-tube if the pressure in the pipe falls by 2kPa.
