As shown in Fig. 2.41, pipe A contains carbon tetrachloride of specific gravity 1.594 under a pressure of 103 kN/m² and pipe B contains oil of specific gravity 0.8. If the pressure in the pipe B is 171.6 kN/m² and the manometric fluid is mercury, find the difference h between the levels of mercury. [Ans. 142 mm]
