A U-tube manometer (not to be confused with a youtube manometer) is connected to a closed tank, as shown in the figure to the right. The air pressure in the tank is 0.5 psig and the liquid in the tank is an oil with a density of 54 lb_m/ft^3. The pressure at point A is 2 psig.
Determine the following:
 The depth of the oil, “z” (ft)
 The height of the manometer, “h” (ft)
