Consider a U-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. Now equal volumes of water and light oil (p=49.3 lbm/ft3) are poured from different arms. A person blows from the oil side of the U-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom of the U-tube, and therefore, the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. If the fluid height in each arm is 34 in, determine the gage pressure exerted by the person on the oil by blowing. The gage pressure exerted by the person on the oil by blowing is 3 ✪ psi.

Question
Consider a U-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. Now equal volumes of water and light oil (p=49.3 lbm/ft3) are poured
from different arms. A person blows from the oil side of the U-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom
of the U-tube, and therefore, the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. If the fluid height in each arm is 34 in, determine the
gage pressure exerted by the person on the oil by blowing.
