Answer

$\Delta P=54.45kPa$

Work Step by Step

Choosing $1$ as the upper point and $2$ as the lower point: $P_{1}+\rho_{oil}*g*h_{oil}+\rho_{water}*g*h_{water}=P_{2}$ $P_{2}-P_{1}=g*(\rho_{oil}*h_{oil}+\rho_{water}*h_{water})$ Solving: $\Delta P=9.81\frac{m}{s^2}*(0.85*1000\frac{kg}{m^3}*3m+1000\frac{kg}{m^3}*3m)$ $\Delta P=54.45kPa$
