Quizbank/Under construction/Pressure and manometer

The relationship between the variables in these problems is given by this formulation:

$s\times 1000+1000\times 9.8\times \frac{a}{100}=1000\times (8.5\times \frac{b}{100}+13.6\times \frac{c}{100})\times 9.8$

Do not memorize this formula! Instead, learn to derive it from what you already know.
