1. At ground level the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 KPa at 15°C. Calculate the pressure at a point 6500m above the ground, assuming no density variation. 2. The gage at the suction side of a pump shows a vacuum of 25cm of mercury. Compute a. Pressure head in meter of water b. Pressure in KPa c. Absolute pressure in KPa if the barometer reads 755cm of mercury 3. A piece of timber 3m long and having a 30cm by 30cm section is placed in a body of water in a vertical position. If the timber weighs 6.5 KN/m what vertical force is required to hold it with its upper end flush with the water surface.
