Manometer containing two liquids

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a manometer problem involving two liquids, where specific pressures and densities are given. The equations derived from three loops relate the pressures and heights of the liquids in the manometer. The user expresses difficulty in finding two missing unknowns in the calculations. They have already determined some values but are seeking further clarification on how to proceed. Ultimately, the user has found a solution to their problem.

Homework Statement
The manometer in the figure contains two liquids A and B arranged as shown. Between the two liquids there is an area containing air. If the relative pressure of liquid A is ##p_A^r=-0,11\, \textrm{at}## and its relative density is ##\rho_A^r=1,6##, calculate the relative density ##\rho_B^r## of liquid B.

Solution: ##\rho_B=1##.

$$p_A^r=-0,11\, \textrm{at}\rightarrow p_A=90534\, \textrm{Pa}$$
$$\rho_A^r=1,6\rightarrow \rho_A=\rho_{AR}\cdot \rho_{H2O}=1600\, \textrm{kg}/\textrm{m}^3$$
$$\rho_1=1,225\, \textrm{kg}/\textrm{m}^3$$
$$\left.
\begin{array}{l}
\textrm{LOOP I}\rightarrow p_A-p_1=-\rho_A (Z_A-Z_1) \\
\textrm{LOOP II}\rightarrow p_1-p_2=-\rho_1(Z_1-Z_2) \\
\textrm{LOOP III}\rightarrow p_2-p_B=-\rho_B(Z_2-Z_B)
\end{array}\right\} \rightarrow$$
$$\rightarrow p_A-p_B=-\rho_A(Z_A-Z_1)-\rho_1(Z_1-Z_2)-\rho_B(Z_2-Z_B)\rightarrow$$
$$\rightarrow 90534-p_B=-720+0,833-\rho_B 0,38=-719,167-0,38\rho_B$$
In this exercise I am stuck because I don't know how to find the two missing unknowns.

I have already found the solution, thank you!
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
