Mercury (SG 13.54) is poured into the tube shown below until it occupies 1 ft of the tube's length. An equal volume of water is then poured into the left leg. Note that the tube has a uniform diameter, which is large enough that surface tension effects can be neglected. Please (i) Locate the water and mercury surfaces and (ii) Determine the maximum pressure in the tube. k -8 in.
