The initial pressures at A and B are the same at 105 kPa. If the pressure at the liquid at A (SG1 = 1.96) is increased to 132 kPa while keeping the pressure at B constant, determine the new position (Δh, in mm.) of the mercury meniscus inside the tube as shown.

Question
The initial pressures at A and B are the same at 105 kPa. If the pressure at the liquid at A (SG1 = 1.96) is increased to 132 kPa while keeping the pressure at B constant, determine the new position (Δh, in mm.) of the mercury meniscus inside the tube as shown. Assume no change in the liquid densities. The connecting tube is a 1-cm in diameter, Y1 = 0.58 cm., and the inclination of the tube is 11° with respect to the horizontal. Assume unit weight of air to be negligible. Round off to three decimal places.
