Freshwater and seawater flowing in parallel horizontal pipelines are connected to each other by a double U- tube manometer, as shown in the figure. Determine the pressure difference between the two pipelines (in kPa). Take the density of seawater at that location to be at 1035kg/m³, for water at 1000kg/m³, and for mercury at 13600kg/m³.
