Show complete solution. Please include the diagram if necessary, given, find, and solution.
A large, open cylindrical tank is 18.0 feet deep having a radius of 7.00 feet is layered with 6.00 feet of water (SG = 1.00) 8.00 feet of oil (SG = 0.650) and 4.00 feet of mercury (SG = 13.6). Compute the pressure (psi) at the bottom of each layer.
The pressure read on the pressure gauge of the system in the figure is 65 kpa. Considering the data shown, determine the height difference "h" on the differential pressure gauge.
Aire = air
Agua = water
Aceite = oil
Mercurio = mercury
PROBLEM 1: Both a gage and a manometer are attached to a tank to measure pressure. Given the reading on the pressure gage, determine the differential height h of the mercury column.
