Answer

$0.16cm$

Work Step by Step

We know that $P_{at}+\rho_w gh_3+\rho_{oil}gh_1=P_{at}+\rho_{oil}gh_2$ This simplifies to: $h_3=\frac{\rho_{oil}(h_2-h_1)}{\rho_w}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $h_3=\frac{(920)(0.0500-0.0300)}{1000}$ $h_3=0.0184m$ Now $h_4=h_2-(h_1+h_3)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $h_4=0.0500-(0.300+0.0184)$ $h_4=0.0016m=0.16cm$
