Question

A u-tube manometer is used to measure the pressure of a vessel under vacuum. Assume the manometer is open to atmospheric pressure (101.325 kPa) and the density of the fluid in the manometer is 12 g/cm3. When the vessel is under 9 psi of vacuum, the height of the fluid column is 83 cm. If the vessel partially loses vacuum and is now under 1.0 psi of vacuum, what will be the new height of fluid column (answer in cm). THE HEIGHT IS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE U-TUBE TO THE TOP OF THE FLUID ON THE Patm SIDE.
