A glass tube 1.60 m long and having a diameter of 2.5 cm is inserted vertically into a tank of oil (sg = 0.80) with the open end down and the close end uppermost. If the open end is submerged 1.30 m from the oil surface, determine the height from which the oil will rise from the tube. Assume barometric pressure is 100 kPa and neglect vapor pressure.
