2. In manometer given above, 2 immiscible fluids mercury (ρ = 13600 kg/m3) and water (ρ = 1000 kg/m3) are used as manometric fluids. The water end is exposed to atmosphere (100 kPa ) and mercury end is exposed to a gas. At this position, interface between fluids is at bottom most point of manometer. Ignore width of manometer tube and radius of curvature. The value of h is found to be 9.45 m. The height of mercury column is given to be 75 cm. Find gauge pressure of gas. (g = 9.8 m/s2)
