Question
Problem one (10 points)
Determine the atmospheric pressure in Pa and Psi at a location where the barometric reading is
29.5 inHg, where the specific gravity of mercury is 13.600.
Mercury
Barometer device
Problem two (10 points)
A vacuum gage connected to a tank reads 30 kPa at a location where the barometric reading is 2.48
ft Hg. Determine the absolute pressure in the tank. Take py to be 13,590 kg/m
Problem three (0 points)
The gage pressure in a liquid at a depth of 3 m is read to be 28 kPa. Determine the gage pressure
in the same liquid at a depth of 12 m.
