The pressure difference between point A and point B is to be measured using an inclined mercury (SG 13.6) manometer. The manometer is inclined at 15 degrees. If the reading along the manometer is 4.8 cm, find the pressure drop between A and B. Include a diagram in your solution. Assume the other liquid in the manometer is air, and operating temperature is 25 degrees Celsius.
