A mercury filled manometer with two unequal length arms of the same cross-sectional area is sealed off with the same pressure Po in the two arms (see figure below). With the temperature constant, an additional 10 cm³ of mercury is admitted through the valve at the bottom. The level on the left increases by 6 cm and the level on the right increases by 4 cm. Find the pressure Po. 50 cm Po WH Ø 30 cm
