In an open-end mercury manometer, a 9cm layer of an oil (specific gravity is 0.92) is placed on top of the mercury in the arm attached the The barometric pressure is 765mmHg. If the level of mercury in the open end is 364mm below the mercury level in the other arm, what is the absolute pressure (mmHg) in the apparatus?
Calculate the pressure exerted by water on the hull of a submarine that is cruising at a depth of 500 ft below ocean level. Assume the density of the ocean water is ρ = 1025 kg⁄m3 .
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?
