A meat baster consists of a squeeze bulb attached to a plastic tube. When the bulb is squeezed and released, with the open end of the tube under the surface of the basting sauce, the sauce rises in the tube to a distance h, as the drawing shows. Using 1.013 × 105 Pa for the atmospheric pressure and 1200 kg/m3 for the density of the sauce, find the absolute pressure in the bulb when the distance h is
(a) 0.15 m
(b) 0.10 m.
