I need quick solution, I am really confused with the sign.
A manometer consists of a tube of 0.5 inch in the inner diameter and an amount of mercury (SG Hg =13.55). On one side of the tube, oil (SG=1.4) was trapped, a bubble formed, and the fluid inside was stationary. The volume of the oil was 0.6 in^3 and the volume of the air was 0.2 in^3. Now, the oil and bubble are removed. The pressure change across the air bubble is negligible and any curvature on the bubble surface can be neglected in calculating the volumes. Determine how much the mercury height rises (i.e. h 4 -h 2 ).
A U-tube manometer is used to measure the pressure in an oil pipe A as shown in the figure. The specific gravity of oil of 0.8 and that of mercury is 13.6. The equivalent gauge pressure is nearly
