= m A vertical force F is supplied to a piston located inside a cylinder containing water (Pwater = 1000 kg m-3) as shown in the figure below. The piston has a cross-sectional area of A. An open U-tube manometer containing mercury is connected to the cylinder (Pmercury = 13,594 kg m-3). Assume that the weight of the piston is negligible, find: a. The magnitude of the pressure acting on the piston if hy = 5 cm and hz = 7 cm. (10 marks) b. The magnitude of the force acting on the piston, given that the area of the piston is A = 0.011 m2.
