Calculating Pressure Change in a Manometer Due to Removal of Air Bubble

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the change in mercury height in a manometer after removing a 3 cc air bubble and 3 cc of oil from one leg. The relevant equation for pressure change is Δp=ρgh, where density (ρ), gravitational acceleration (g), and height (h) are key variables. The user successfully calculated the length of the air bubble column but struggled to proceed further with the calculations. Assistance is requested to complete the solution. The focus is on understanding how the removal of the air bubble and oil affects the mercury levels in the manometer.

Homework Statement


a manometer consisting of tube that is 1.25 cm inner diameter . on one side , the manometer leg contains mercury,10cc of an oil(S.G.=1.4)and 3 cc of air as a bubble in oil . the other leg contains only mercury . both legs are open to atmosphere and static . An accident occurs in which 3cc of oil and air bubble are removed from one leg . how much do mercury height levels change?



Homework Equations


Δp=ρgh


The Attempt at a Solution


i calculated the change in pressure due to 3 cc air bubble
∏/4 * 1.25*1.25*l=3
where l = length of airbubble column
l=2.445 cm ...after that cudnt proceed

please help me how to do it asap
