Consider the manometer tube shown in below Figure 1. It is filled with three different incompressible fluids. The closed end of the tube is connected to a reservoir with a constant pressure. For this configuration, calculate   i) the pressure in the reservoir in kPa, ii) the pressure in the reservoir as gage pressure in kPa, iii) the equivalent height of water, and iv) the equivalent height of mercury.
