Question

Give me both right solutions with clear calculation 

2. Manometer is a useful device to measure the pressure for liquid tanks in industries. Figure 2 shows a water tank with a gauge pressure of the air being measured to be 65 kPa. Determine the differential height h of the mercury column, when H1 = 20 cm, H2 = 71 cm. Note that SG is denoted as specific gravity. (a) Determine h value in cm. (b) If the manometer liquid of Mercury is replaced by another liquid of a relatively smaller density, explain whether h will increase or decrease. 65 kPa Air H1 cm H2 cm -Water h 4 -Oil SG = 0.72 Mercury SG= 13.6 Figure 2. A sketch of a tank with a U-type of manometer
