An open cylindrical tank with a diameter of 5 m. has Water (s.g. = 1.00, h = 3m), Oil (s.g. = 0.82, 3.5m), Mercury (s.g. = 13.6, h = 0.82m), and Gasoline (s.g. = 0.72, h = 1.925 m) in it. Solve for the following: a. Specific Weight of Gasoline. b. Absolute pressure at the liquid surface. c. Gage pressure at the depth of 1.935m from the liquid surface.

Question

An open cylindrical tank with a diameter of 5 m. has Water (s.g. = 1.00, h = 3m), Oil (s.g. = 0.82, 3.5m), Mercury (s.g. = 13.6, h = 0.82m), and Gasoline (s.g. = 0.72, h = 1.925 m) in it. Solve for the following:


a. Specific Weight of Gasoline.
b. Absolute pressure at the liquid surface.
c. Gage pressure at the depth of 1.935m from the liquid surface.
d. The force of the liquid acting on the interface between the two middle liquids.
e. The gage pressure at the interface between the last two bottom liquids.
f. The force acting at the bottom of the Water.
g. If a cubical object with one side equal to 30cm is placed exactly on the half part of the mercury, what is
the pressure acting on it?
h. What is the force acting on the cube?
i. If a 32 kPa air pressure is acting on the liquid surface, what will be the gage pressure at the bottom of
the tank?
