As illustrated, a mercury manometer is attached to the side of a nearly full water tank. The reading of the mercury column is 15.5 in. Hg gage. Although air on the water maintains the pressure, the other 10-in. leg of the manometer is full of water, for H2O , ρ = 62.3lb/ft3 ; for Hg, ρ = 846lb/ft3 If the location is at standard gravity and the temperature of both the water and mercury is 60°F, what is the pressure (psia) in the tank at the level where the manometer is attached? If the tank extends 10ft below this level, what is the pressure at this depth?

A Newtonian fluid with viscosity (Mu) flows upward at a steady rate between two parallel plates that make an angle y with the horizontal. The fluid thickness h is much smaller than the width of the channel W. The
pressures at each end, P(0) and P(L), are known and the pressure variations in the y-direction are small. Assume that Vy and Vz = 0 and Vx is a function of y alone. Use the shell balance to approach :

- In medical work, pressures are often measured in units of mm of H2O because body fluids, including the cerebrospinal fluid, typically have nearly the same density as water. The pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid can be measured by means of a spinal tap. A hollow tube is inserted into the spinal column, and the height to which the fluid rises is observed. If the fluid rises to a height of 160 mm, we write its gauge pressure as 160 mm H2O.
