This isn't a textbook problem, I just need some help understanding this apparatus. I attached a crude sketch...
The canister on the right is open to the air, the column on the left is closed, but the top is filled with air and the bottom is filled with water. the canister has water in it as well. How can you calculate the air pressure in the closed column using this setup? Presume you know the heights and everything...
Pressure variations with depth...
P=P_o+pgh
