A 6 -in.- -diameter piston is located within a cylinder that is connected to a $\frac{1}{2}$ -in.-diameter inclined-tube manometer as shown in Fig. P2.74. The fluid in the cylinder and the manometer is oil (specific weight $=59 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}$ ). When a weight, $\%,$ is placed on the top of the cylinder, the fluid level in the manometer tube rises from point (1) to $(2) .$ How heavy is the weight? Assume that the change in position of the piston is negligible.

The fluid in the cylinder and the manometer is oil (specific weight $=59 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}$ ). When a weight, $\mathscr{V}$, is placed on the top of the cylinder, the fluid level in the manometer tube rises from point (1) to $(2) .$ How heavy is the weight? Assume that the change in position of the piston is negligible.
P2.39 An 8-cm-diameter piston compresses manometer oil into an inclined 7-mm-diameter tube; as shown in Fig: P2.39. When a weight W is added to the top of the piston, the oil rises an additional distance of 10 cm up the tube, as shown. How large is the weight, in N? D = 8 cm Piston d = 7 mm Meriam red oil, SG = 0.827 15°
