The discussion focuses on calculating the relative pressure difference in a U-shaped tube filled with oil of density 0.85 g/cc, which is displaced by 25 mm. The method proposed involves determining the weight of the oil column on the high side compared to the low side and dividing this weight by the area of the base of the oil column. This approach effectively utilizes the principles of fluid dynamics to derive the pressure difference based on the displacement of the fluid.

I'd probably try to figure out the weight of the on the high side that was higher then the oil on the low side, and divide that by the area of the base of the column of oilSNOOTCHIEBOOCHEE said:if you are given that a pressure displaces an oil (density = .85g/cc) 25mm in a contraption that looks like a long u shaped test tube, how would you find the realitve pressure difference?
