There is a hemispherical shell on the ocean floor as shown in the figure below. Assume the pressure inside the shell is 1PPa (gage). A mercury U-tube manometer is attached to the side of the shell (as shown) to indicate the seawater pressure outside the shell. What is the value of h on the mercury manometer (in mm)? Clearly indicate your chosen datum. The specific gravity of the mercury is 13.6 and the specific gravity of the seawater is 1.03
(Answer: 777mm- note: sometimes, I will give the answer for a problem to guide you towards completing it correctly, but I still expect to see full, clear work for the problem!)
Ocean surface
The answer is 777mm but im not how to get to that answer
