The manometer shown is connected to a chamber of air on the right at unknown pressure P₁ and is open to atmospheric pressure air on the left. The manometer contains water of density 1000 kg/m³ and oil of density 600 kg/m³. Assume the manometer tubes are wide enough to neglect surface tension effects but narrow enough to neglect height variation across the diameter. Calculate the gage pressure P₁ of air in the chamber on the right. 2 cm Air 30° 7 cm 9 Water 301 3 cm 3 cm Air 2 cm 60° Oil 4 cm 15% Chamber 1 cm 3 cm Air P₁ 27 The manometer shown is connected to a chamber of air on the right at unknown pressure P₁ and is open to atmospheric pressure air on the left.
