A manometer is connected to a water pipe as shown in the figure below. There are three liquids in the manometer, i.e., water (SG = 1.00), oil (SG = 0.80), and mercury (SG = 13.6). The right-side end is exposed to the atmosphere (atmospheric pressure at the local is 12.4 psi). What is the absolute pressure (in psi) at the center of the water pipe?
