Question
A large container holds several liquid in different layers. The first layer from the surface has a specific gravity of 0.75 and it is 1.5m deep.
The second layer has a specific gravity of 0.85 and it is 2.75m deep and the third layer has a specific gravity of 1.03 and it has a depth of
3.5m. Determine the following:
1. The absolute pressure at the bottom given that standard atmospheric pressure prevails on the surface
2. The gage pressure at the depth of 3.25m from the surface.
3. If the container will hold a single liquid (s = 0.85) what will be its total depth in order for it to have the same pressure as part 1 given
the same conditions
