A U- tube manometer is used to measure the pressure of oil of specific gravity 0.85 flowing in a pipe line. It is left end is connected to the pipe and right –limb id open to the atmosphere. The center of the pipe is 100 mm below the level of mercury (specific gravity =13.6) the right limb .if the difference of mercury level in the two limbs is 160 mm. determine the absolute pressure of the oil in the pipe.
