Figure Q2 shows two tanks which contain the solvent used for plastic manufacturing. Tank A contains the cyclohexanol and Tank B contains the ethyl lactate. Calculate the pressure on the top of tank A, if the mercury in the manometer is at the level as shown, where h = 0.75 m. Take the specific gravities of cyclohexanol, mercury, and ethyl lactate as, Seyclo = 0.953, Smercury = 13.55 and Sethyl = 1.03. B ha = 4.5 m =1.5m F0.75m -mercury

Bottle was filled with water and a hole is punched in the bottle.When the bottle is closed, water does not come out of the hole. However, when the bottle is open, water comes out of the hole. Other information would be - Atmospheric pressure is 1 atm (101325 Pa) - Assume bottle is 20 cm and the hole is on the 10 cm above the bottom of the bottle (use it as reference level) Define the pressure(s) acting at the hole when the bottle is open and calculate total pressure.
