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!
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
