Consider a U-tube whose arms are open to the
atmosphere. Now equal volumes of water (=1000kgm3)
and light oil ({:=789.7kgm3) are poured from different
arms. A person blows from the oil side of the U-tube until
the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom
of the U-tube, and thus the liquid levels in the two arms
are the same. If the fluid height in each arm is 76 cm ,
determine the gage pressure the person exerts on the oil
by blowing.
