Manometers A cylindrical column is partially filled with three liquids: water, mercury, and n-octane. The liquids are immiscible, and so three distinct layers are formed. Specific gravities of each liquid are located in Table B.1 in the appendix. The water layer is 10.0 ft thick. The n-octane layer is 1.50 m thick. The mercury layer thickness is 40.0 cm. The column is closed and the headspace is pressurized. A pressure gauge at the bottom of the column reads 30.0 psi. What is the absolute pressure of the headspace in mm Hg? You must include a fully labeled diagram with units as appropriate.

A closed container contains 1.5m high of water, 2.5m high of oil (SG= 0.8), an unknown liquid (SG= 1.25) whose height is 1.6m, and the pressure at the top of the mixture is 17 KPa. Determine the pressure head at the bottom of the container in millimeters of mercury (SG= 13.6)
I've posted the below question earlier, and I received the answer. This is the question: A J-shaped tube is filled with air at 760 Torr and 22 °C. The long arm is closed off at the top and is 100.0 cm long; the short arm is 40.00 cm high. Mercury is poured through a funnel into the open end. When the mercury spills over the top of the short arm, what is the pressure on the trapped air? Let h be the length of mercury in the long arm. I need further explanation of one step: - when P2 is obtained in the short arm, the equation is 40-h+P1 1. How did we get this equation? 2. the short arm does not contain any air, why do we create an equation of P2 in the short arm? Please clarify these concerns.
34.) The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multifluid manometer. The tank is located on a mountain at an altitude of 1400 m where the atmospheric pressure is 88 kPa. Determine the air pressure (kPa) in the tank if h 1 = 0.2 m, h 2 = 0.3 m, and h 3 = 0.45 m. Take the densities of water, oil, and mercury to be 1000 ??/?3, 840 ??/?3, and 13,600 ??/?3, respectively. (Answer with 3 decimal places, do not include the units)

Consider a differential manometer whose ends are connected to two different pipes A andB and containing different liquids at different levels. Let us assume that the pressure at point A is more than that at point B. Oil is in pipe A whose density 800 kg/m³ shows a difference in mercury levels as 100 mm. The height of oil between center of pipe A to the mercury level in left limb is 200 mm. Methanol (relative density 0.791) is in pipe B and the height of Methanol between center of pipe B and mercury level in the right limb is 5 cm. Calculate the difference in pressures at the two points A and B.
