Air hsca hais Sea Tresh water water Mercury Figure 1 Figure 1 shows a U-tube manometer that connects two pipelines that runs in parallel to each other. One pipeline has fresh water flowing through it while the other transports seawater. i) Calculate the difference in pressure between the two pipelines. Give your answer in the typical unit for pressure. ii) From your answer in (i), state which pipeline has more pressure? Use pseawater = 1035 kg/m², pHg= 13600 kg/m³, hHg= 10 cm, hw= 60 cm and hsea = 40 cm. Also, you may neglect the density of air since its effects are minimal in comparison to seawater or fresh water. Make all necessary assumptions and state them clearly.
