A structure contains a volume of water, as shown in Figure 1 below.
The valve at the bottom of the chamber is opened into a pneumatic
chamber. Liquid partially fills the pneumatic chamber as shown.
Calculate the pressure inside the pneumatic chamber and calculate
the original height of water needed to induce this pressure. (Note
that the size of the connecting channel is negligible and can be
ignored).
