Please answer this thermodynamic and heat given question correctly
A U-tube mercury manometer with one arm open to the atmosphere is used to measure the
pressure of steam flowing through a pipe as shown in Figure Q4. The level of mercury in
the open-ended arm stands 95 mm. Some of the steam condenses in the arm that connects
with the steam pipe. If the height of this column is 32 mm, calculate the absolute pressure of
steam. Given the atmospheric pressure equal to 760 mm of mercury.
