Problem 2(5 points): An inverted U-tube manometer can be used to measure the
differential pressure between two reservoirs as shown in Figure 1 below. Derive an
expression for the difference in pressure between the two reservoirs. Assuming that the
fluid in both arms is water and the fluid in the upper part is air, determine the pressure
difference (in units of Pa) between the two reservoirs if z1=10.0in,z2=5.0 in and z3=
3.0 in.
