Question 1

If a manometer connected to a water pipe shows a discrepancy of 25 cm between water and oil with density 800 kg/m³. How much pressure must be adjusted in the water pipe to balance the manometer?

💡 Hint: Keep in mind the specific gravities and how they relate to pressure.

Question 2

A container filled with oil and water is subjected to a pressure increase of 12 kPa. Determine how this change affects the height of fluid levels in a connected manometer with mercury.

💡 Hint: What is the relationship between density, pressure, and height in this system?
