A pitot tube connected to a U-tube mercury manometer measures the speed of air flowing in the wind tunnel as shown in the figure below. The density of air is $1.23 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$ while the density of water is $1000 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$. For the manometer reading of $h=30 \mathrm{~mm}$ of mercury, the speed of air in the wind tunnel is __________ $\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ (rounded off to 1 decimal place).

Assume: Specific gravity of mercury $=13.6$

Acceleration due to gravity $=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}$
