Answer

$0.60cm$

Work Step by Step

We know that $\rho_{atm}+\rho_{water}gh_1=P_{atm}+\rho_{oil}gh_2$ This simplifies to: $h_1=h_2(\frac{\rho_{oil}}{\rho_{water}})$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $h_1=(7.50cm)(\frac{9.20\times 10^2Kg/m^3}{1000Kg/m^3})$ $h_1=6.9cm$ Now the height difference is given as $h=h_2-h_1$ $h=7.5cm-6.9cm$ $h=0.60cm$
