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.
