We read your photo as:
Num tubo em U, coloca-se mercúrio (p=13600 kg/m³) e água (p=1000 kg/m³). A altura da coluna do mercúrio acima da interface é 100 cm. Calcule a altura da coluna da água no verso da folha (1.0v).

Calculate the hydrostatic pressure.
The hydrostatic pressure () is given by the formula , where is the density of the fluid, is the acceleration due to gravity, and is the height of the fluid column.
Given: , , .Calculate the absolute pressure.
The absolute pressure () is the sum of the atmospheric pressure () and the hydrostatic pressure.
Given: .The hydrostatic pressure is and the absolute pressure is .
Part 5
Convert the height of the mercury column to meters.
Given: .
Apply the principle of equal pressure at the interface level.
In a U-tube, at the same horizontal level within a continuous fluid, the pressure is equal. Therefore, the pressure exerted by the mercury column above the interface is equal to the pressure exerted by the water column above the interface.
We can cancel from both sides:
Solve for the height of the water column, .
Given: , , .
The height of the water column is .
