The Attempt at a Solution
Taking xx at middle tube's mercury height :
Right tube = Px = 13600 x 9.81 x 0.6
Middle tube = P
Left tube = 800 x 9.81 x 1
P = (13600 x 9.81 x 0.6) + (800 x 9.81 x 1)
But I know this is wrong. Can't find any examples on the internet or in the text I am using... PLEASE HELP!
