A closed-U-tube manometer filled with mercury is attached to the underside of a line carrying water, as shown in figure. At a point directly above the closed-U-tube manometer tap, the upstream tap of an inverted U tube is located. The inverted-U-tube manometer is filled with a liquid of specific gravity 0.5. What are p1 and p2 in psia?
