A U-tube manometer is connected to a closed tank as shown in Fig. P2.42. The air pressure in the tank is \(0.50 \mathrm{psi}\) and the liquid in the tank is oil \(\left(\gamma=54.0 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\). The pressure at point \(A\) is \(2.00 \mathrm{psi}\). Determine:

(a) the depth of oil, \(z\), 

(b) the differential reading, \(h\), on the manometer.
