2. A force, P, is applied to a piston with a mass of 10 kg and a diameter of 30 cm that rests on top of a cylinder containing water as shown. (The piston is free to move in the cylinder, but is sealed so no water can escape.) An open U-tube manometer is connected to the cylinder as shown. Determine the applied force, P, if h₁ = 60 mm and h = 100 mm. The specific weight of water is 9.81 kN/m³ The specific gravity of mercury is 13.546. Piston #U Water. Mercury
