Fresh water 60 cm 10 cm 40 cm 70 cm Mercury -Air Sea water, 2 Fresh and seawater flowing in parallel horizontal pipelines are connected to each other by a double U-tube manometer. Determine the pressure difference between the two pipelines (P₁-P2). Take the density of seawater at that location to be psea = 1035 kg/m³. The specific gravities of mercury, water and air are 13.6, 1.0 and 0.0013, respectively.
