In a tank with a height of 1 meter, open to the atmosphere at the top, there are two immiscible liquids (which do not mix) and whose densities are 13,600 kg/m3 and 750 kg/m3, respectively.
The tank is completely full and each liquid occupies half of the container. If the atmospheric pressure of the place is 105 Pa, at what depth, measured from the top of the tank, is the value of the gauge pressure equal to half the value of the atmospheric pressure of the place? Consider that the gravitational acceleration of the place is 9.8 m/s2?

What is the density of the added fluid (in kg/m3)
A U-tube mercury manometer is used to measure the pressure at a pointon the wing of a wind-tunnel model. One side of the manometer isconnected to the model, and the other side is open to the atmosphere.Atmospheric pressure and the density of liquid mercury are1.01 × 105 N/m2 and 1.36 × 104 kg/m3, respectively. When thedisplacement of the two columns of mercury is 20 cm, with the highcolumn on the model side, what is the pressure on the wing?
