Two ends of an U-tube manometer which contains mercury, is connected between two pipes (A & B), that carries of oil of specific gravities 1.5 & 1.4 respectively. The center of the pipe A (left limb) is 18 cm above the pipe B (right limb). The mercury level difference in the right limb is 4.75 cm and the height of fluid in the right limb is 5.5 cm. Find the pressure difference between these two pipes in Kilo Pascal (kPa). Draw the diagram.

Two ends of an U-tube manometer which
contains mercury, is connected between two
pipes (A & B), that carries of oil of specific
gravities 1.5 & 1.4 respectively. The center of
the pipe A (left limb) is 18 cm above the pipe
B (right limb). The mercury level difference
in the right limb is 4.75 cm and the height of
fluid in the right limb is 5.5 cm. Find the
pressure difference between these two pipes
in Kilo Pascal (kPa). Draw the diagram.
