Find the gauge and absolute pressures in the balloon and peanut jar shown in Figure 11.16, assuming the manometer connected to the balloon uses water whereas the manometer connected to the jar contains mercury. Express in units of centimeters of water for the balloon and millimeters of mercury for the jar, taking h=0.0500h=0.0500 m for each.

Figure 11.16 An open-tube manometer has one side open to the atmosphere. (a) Fluid depth must be the same on both sides, or the pressure each side exerts at the bottom will be unequal and there will be flow from the deeper side. (b) A positive gauge pressure Pg=hρgPg=hρg transmitted to one side of the manometer can support a column of fluid of height h. (c) Similarly, atmospheric pressure is greater than a negative gauge pressure PgPg by an amount hρghρg .The jar's rigidity prevents atmospheric pressure from being transmitted to the peanuts.

Consider a manometer containingthree liquids with known densities p1, p2 and p3, in a tube ofuniform diameter, as shown in the figure.
a) Given the air pressure, pA, and the heights of all liquidcolumns, determine the air pressure pD.
b) If both ends of the manometer are opened to the atmosphere (pA =pD), determine the new heights of the liquid columns, in terms ofthe previous parameters. (For this question, only the formulationof a system of equations sufficient for solving the problem andsome explanations on how to solve the system were expected).
