Consider the U-tube manometer shown in the figure. Both ends of the U-tube manometer is open to atmospheric pressure. The left and right arm of the manometer has a cross-sectional area A1 = 8 cm2 and A1 = 4 cm2, respectively. The left figure illustrates the U-tube when mercury (ρHg =13.6 g/cm3) is poured into it. The right figure shows the U-tube manometer when 90.0 g of water is poured in the right arm. (a) Determine the length of the water column in the right arm of the manometer and (b) the distance h the mercury rise in the left arm of the manometer.
