As shown in the figure, an inclined manometer is used to measure the pressure of the gas within the reservoir. The manometer fluid is mercury, which has a density of 845 Ib/ft3. The manometer fluid rises a distance d = 12 inches along the manometer tube, which is inclined e = 20° from the horizontal. The atmospheric pressure is 14.7 Ibf/in? and the acceleration of gravity is 32.2 ft/s?. Patm = 14.7 Ibf/in.? Gas reservoir g = 32.2 ft/s? a 20 in. Mercury (p = 845 Ib/ft³) Determine the gas pressure, in Ibf/in?. Express the pressure as a gage or a vacuum pressure, as appropriate, in Ibf/in2.
