Due to a rupture in an underground oil storage tank, groundwater has infiltrated the tank to a specific depth as depicted in the figure. Determine the pressure at the interface between the oil and water, as well as at the bottom of the tank. Express the pressures in [bar]. The densities of water and oil are given as 1000 kg/m and 890 kg/m, respectively. Consider g = 9.81 m/s².

The air pressure in an automobile tire is 35 psi. Express the pressure in appropriate SI units (kPa).
An inexperienced design engineer poorly designed an underground gasoline storage tank, open to the atmosphere, that water seeped into a depth of 5 ft as shown in the figure below. Determine the gauge pressure at the interface between the gasoline and water as well as the gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank. If the local atmospheric pressure is 0.90 atm, what is the absolute pressure at these two locations? The specific gravity of gasoline is 0.70. Express your answers in psi.
The gauge pressure of the air in the tank shown in the figure is measured to be 56 kPa. Determine the differential height h of the mercury column.
In medical work, pressures are often measured in units of mm of H2O because body fluids, including the cerebrospinal fluid, typically have nearly the same density as water. The pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid can be measured by means of a spinal tap. A hollow tube is inserted into the spinal column, and the height to which the fluid rises is observed. If the fluid rises to a height of 160 mm, we write its gauge pressure as 160 mm H2O. (a) Express this pressure in pascals, in atmospheres, and in millimeters of mercury.

In other cases, a physician may suspect that a tumor or other growth is locking the spinal column and inhibiting the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Such conditions can be investigated by means of the Queckensted test. In this procedure the veins in the patient’s neck are compressed, to make the blood pressure rise in the brain. The increase in pressure in the blood vessels is…
At one point in a pipeline the water's speed is 3.00 m/sand the gauge pressure is 5.00×10^4 Pa a) Find the gauge pressure at a second point in the line, 11.0 mm lower than the first, if the pipe diameter at the second point is twice that at the first. Express your answer in kilopascals.
Patients suffering from decompression sickness may be treated in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber filled with oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressure. A cylindrical chamber with flat end plates of diameter 0.75 m is filled with oxygen to a gauge pressure of 27 kPa. What is the resulting force on the end plate of the cylinder?
The surface tensions of mercury and water at 60 degrees Celcius are 0.47N/m and 0.0662 N/m, respectively. What capillary height changes will occur in these two fluids when they are in contact with air in a glass tube of radius 0.30mm? Use θ = 130° for mercury, and 0° for water; y = 132.3 kN/m3 for mercury and 9.650 kN/m3 for water. Provide the given along with its solution. (Please write legibly, I did not understand the first solution.)
The tank is filled with water and gasoline at a temperature of 20∘C to the depths shown in (Figure 1). The absolute air pressure at the top of the tank is 140 kPa. The atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. Determine the gage pressue at the bottom of the tank. Also would the results be different if the tank had a flat bottom rather than a curved one?
For a vertical rectangular gate, one side has linseed oil (0.938) and the other has two fluids—castor oil (0.96) and water. Considering a unit-width of the gate, apply the PRESSURE PRISM CONCEPT (Illustrate and label the pressure diagram/prism) to calculate the magnitude and direction of the following when z = 7m.
