A differential manometer connected to pipes A and B carrying liquids of specific gravity 0.90 and 0.80 respectively. Point B is 0.80 m below A. If the mercury level in the left limb is 0.20 m below A and the difference in levels of mercury in the two limbs is 0.95 m, find the pressure difference between A and B.
