Expert Solution
Step 1: Determine the pressure difference between point A and B.

Given:

The specific gravity of oil is SG=0.8.

The specific gravity of oil is So=13.6.

The specific weight of Water γw=9810 N/m3,  h1=60 cm, h2=87 cm and h3=35 cm.

Formula used:

The expression for increase in pressure at depth z is given by,

P=ρgz

Here, P is Pressure, ρ is density, g is acceleration due to gravity, z is vertical distance.

The expression for density of fluid is given as,

ρf=(SG)ρw
