A U‑tube manometer contains mercury (density \(13\,600\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3}\)) and water (density \(1\,000\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3}\)). The left leg is open to the atmosphere (pressure \(101.3\,\text{kPa}\)). In the right leg a column of water \(0.30\,\text{m}\) high sits above the mercury, and the mercury level in the right leg is \(0.20\,\text{m}\) lower than in the left leg. Determine the absolute pressure of the sealed gas in the right leg (in kPa).
