A manometer containing oil (rho=850kg/m3) is attached to a tank filled with air. If the oil-level difference between the two columns is 45cm and the atmospheric pressure is 98kPa,
converting m into cm
100 cm = 1 m
45 cm = 45/100 = 0.45 m
At first finding pgh
pgh = (850 × 10 × 0.45)
pgh = 3825
Now
Pressure = Pₐ + pgh
Pressure = 98000 + 3825
Pressure = 101825 pascal
