You have two different liquids that do not mix and are on top of each other in a container. The gauge pressure at the lowest point of the liquid on top is 3 atm. The hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of the container is 8 atm. Assuming that atmospheric pressure is 1 atm, what is the gauge pressure at the lowest point of the second liquid?
