a) Vessels A and B in Figure Q3(a) contain water and air, respectively. Both of the vessels are connected using a multiple-fluid manometer. The specific gravity for the fluids inside the manometer is 13.6, 7.8, 12.6, and 8.5, respectively. If I₁ = 330 mm, 12 = 300 mm, l3 = 250 mm, 14 280 mm, and Is = 100 mm, determine: i) The difference in pressure between vessels A and B, assuming the gravitational effect of gases is negligible, and ii) The pressure at point x (Px) and point y (Py) inside the manometer assume that the pressure in vessel A is 150 kPa.
