A U-tube with uniform legs and both open to the atmosphere has its bottom portion contains mercury liquids with levels initially 200 mm above the bottom. Twenty mL of water are poured into one leg. Determine the difference in levels between the water surface in one leg and the mercury surface on the other leg. Assume no spillage of liquids. The legs are 8 mm in diameter.
