A double u-tube manometer has two fluids, fluid A with weight of 10kN/m3, and fluid B with weight of 26kN/m3. As shown in the figure, one end is open to the atmosphere and the other is exposed to a pressurized gas. Find the absolute pressure, P1 , of the pressurized gas. The various fluid lengths are shown in the parameter table.
