 A simple thermometer is formed by taking a large spherical container

A simple thermometer is formed by taking a large spherical container of volume 1.31m' and filling it with an ideal gas. Then, a U-shaped tube is attached that is very narrow so that very little fluid/gas can fit inside the tube. The tube has a small quantity of a fluid of density 1560kg/m placed in it. In equilibrium at room temperature (that is at 24.6'C) the height of the fluid on both sides of the U-shaped tube are level. This is illustrated in the image below. What is the temperature of the gas in the spherical container when the left side of the fluid is 13.25cm higher than the right side of the fluid in the U- shaped tube? Atmospheric pressure is 101000Pa
