An open tank consists of 3 immiscible liquids, in which the water is at the height of 400 cm, above which a crude oil of specific gravity of 0.85 is filled up to a height of 2400 mm, above which a coconut oil of specific gravity of 0.94 is filled for about 3 m. Find (i) the intensity of pressure in kPa at the interface between coconut oil & crude oil (ii) the intensity of pressure in MPa at the interface between crude oil & water (iii) the intensity of pressure in N/cm² at the bottom of the tank. Solution: The intensity of pressure at the interface between coconut oil & crude oil (unit in kPa) = The intensity of pressure at the interface between crude oil & water (unit in MPa) ; The intensity of pressure at the bottom of the tank (Unit in N/cm?) = ( %3D

A U-tube containing mercury (sg = 13.6) has itsright-hand limb open to the atmosphere and the left-handlimb connected to a pipe conveying water under pressure,the difference in the level of mercury in the two limbs being200 mm. If the mercury level in the left-hand limb is 400 mmbelow the pipe's center line, find the pipeline's absolutepressure (kPa). Also, find the new difference in levels ofmercury in the U-tube if the pressure in the pipe falls by 2kPa.
