The moon has a very low average atmospheric pressure of 3x10-15 bar (1 bar = 100,000 N/ m 2) and a gravity of 1.62 m/s². Assuming that the density of oil is 0.93 g/cm3, calculate the reading on a manometer of: (a) The atmospheric pressure of the moon in meters of oil (head) (b) The atmospheric pressure of the moon in meters of mercury (head), assuming mercury has a relative density of 13.6.
