Water at 20°C flows upward at 4 m/s in a 6-cm-diameter pipe. The pipe length between points 1 and 2 is 5 m, and point 2 is 3 m higher. A mercury manometer, connected between 1 and 2, has a reading h=360 mm with p1 higher. The specific weight of mercury and water is 133,100 N/m³ and 9790 N/m³, respectively.
