A large tank of height h is half-filled with a liquid of density ρ and other half-filled with a liquid of density 4ρ. A similar tank is half-filled with a liquid of density 2ρ and other-half filled with another liquid of density 3ρ as shown. What will be the ratio of the instantaneous velocities of discharge through a small opening at the base of the tanks? (assume that the diameter of the opening is negligible compared to the height of the liquid column in either of the tanks)

In the manometer given above, 2 immiscible fluids mercury (ρ = 13600 kg/m^3) and water (ρ = 1000 kg/m^3) are used as manometric fluids. The water end is exposed to atmosphere (100 kPa) and the mercury end is exposed to a gas. At this position, the interface between the fluids is at the bottom most point of the manometer. Ignore the width of the manometer tube and the radius of curvature. The value of h is found to be 9.45 m. The height of the mercury column is given to be 75 cm. Find the gauge pressure of the gas. (g = 9.8 m/s^2)
