A U‑tube manometer contains water in the left leg and mercury in both legs. The water column in the left leg rises \(0.20\,\text{m}\) above the mercury surface in that leg. The mercury surface in the right leg is lower than that in the left leg by an unknown amount \(\Delta h\). (a) Determine \(\Delta h\). (b) If a point \(P\) is located \(0.40\,\text{m}\) below the mercury surface in the right leg, calculate the absolute pressure at \(P\), taking atmospheric pressure as \(1.0\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa}\).

Answer Options

A. Δh≈2.0 cm; pressure at P = 1.60×10^5 Pa
B. Δh≈1.8 cm; pressure at P = 1.70×10^5 Pa
C. Δh≈1.0 cm; pressure at P = 1.45×10^5 Pa
Correct Answer D. Δh≈1.5 cm; pressure at P = 1.53×10^5 Pa
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Δh≈1.5 cm; pressure at P = 1.53×10^5 Pa
