Question
Two spheres containing gas are connected to each other and to a tube
which is connected to the atmosphere as shown in the diagram. The tubes
have a liquid with density p= 3400 in it. The height (measured from the
lowest point in the liquid) of the top of the liquid exposed to the atmosphere
is za = 52cm, the height of the liquid exposed to sphere 'B' is z = 23cm,
and the height of the liquid exposed to sphere 'C' is %c = 78cm.
