Example 1.12. A basic barometer can be used as an altitude measuring device in aeroplanes. ground control reports a barometric reading of 750 mm of mercury while the pilot's reading is 690 mm of mercury. Estimate the altitude of the plane from the ground level if the average specific weight of air is 11.97 N/m.

As illustrated, a mercury manometer is attached to the side of a nearly full water tank. The reading of the mercury column is 15.5 in. Hg gage. Although air on the water maintains the pressure, the other 10-in. leg of the manometer is full of water, for H2O , ρ = 62.3lb/ft3 ; for Hg, ρ = 846lb/ft3 If the location is at standard gravity and the temperature of both the water and mercury is 60°F, what is the pressure (psia) in the tank at the level where the manometer is attached? If the tank extends 10ft below this level, what is the pressure at this depth?
