A U-shaped tube open to the air at both ...

A U-shaped tube open to the air at both ends contains some mercury. A quantity of water is carefully poured into the left arm of the U-shaped tube until the vertical height of the water column is `15.0 cm`.
(a) What is the gauge pressure at the water mercury interface ?
(b) Calculate the vertical distance h from the top of the mercury in the right hand arm of the tube to the top of the water in the left-hand arm.
