Enthalpy Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Write some heights of mercury on both sides and of water on one side. Compute the hydrostatic pressure at the bottom. Both sides create the same pressure, deduce the necessary water height, remembering that higher mercury at one side means lower at the other.

Strange Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 remembering that higher mercury at one side means lower at the other. Good point. Maybe it isn't as simple as I initially thought ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
