The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multifluid manometer as shown in Figure. The tank is located on a mountain at an altitude of 1400 m where the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Determine the air pressure in the tank if h = 0.1 m, h2 =0.2 m, and h3 =0.35 m. Take the densities of water, oil, %3D and merCury to be 1000

Milk with a density of 1020 kg/m3 is transported on a level road in a 9-m-long, 3-m-diameter cylindrical tanker. The tanker is completely filled with milk (no air space), and it accelerates at 4 m/s2. If the minimum pressure in the tanker is 100 kPa, determine the maximum pressure difference and the location of the maximum pressure.
