A gasoline line is connected to a pressure gage through a double U manometer, as shown in Figure 3 below. If the reading of the pressure gage is 180 kPa, determine the gage pressure of the gasoline line. The specific gravities of oil, mercury and gasoline are given to be 0.79,13.6 and 0.70 respectively.
