Question

A U-tube mercury manometer is used to measure the pressure at a point
on the wing of a wind-tunnel model. One side of the manometer is
connected to the model, and the other side is open to the atmosphere.
Atmospheric pressure and the density of liquid mercury are
1.01 × 105 N/m2 and 1.36 × 104 kg/m3, respectively. When the
displacement of the two columns of mercury is 20 cm, with the high
column on the model side, what is the pressure on the wing?
