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?
