A manometer is used to measure the pressure of a gas in a tank. The fluid used has a specific gravity of 0.85, and the manometer column height is 55 cm, as shown in Fig. 3-20. If the local atmospheric pressure is 96 kPa, determine the absolute pressure within the tank. P=? SG=0.85 P atm = 96 kPa h = 55 cm
