Answer:

I hope this helps

  1. In the manometer, one end connects to a gas-tight seal to test the pressure source.

2. In addition, the other end of the tube is left open to the atmosphere and it will be subjected to the pressure of approximately 1 atmosphere (atm).

3. Besides, the test pressure is greater than the pressure of 1 atm (atmosphere) the liquid in the column will be forced down by the pressure.

4. Furthermore, it will cause the liquid of the reference column to rise by an equal amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

A manometer is a device that measures air pressure using a container with a "U"-shaped tube open at one or both ends. In a closed manometer, a sample of gas is introduced into one end, which is then capped. ... This pressure represents the positive or negative difference between the gas pressure and atmospheric pressure
