A gage and a manometer are attached to a tank to measure pressure. Given the reading on the pressure gage, determine the differential height of the mercury column.
Problem 1
In a manometer, the height of the water is 50 cm on the right leg, and the height of another liquid is 30 cm on the left leg, measured from the bottom of the tube. Draw the figure and determine the density of another liquid?
Calculate the pressure at a point 40 cm below the surface of the oil in a vessel. Express the answer in Pascal.
