Transcribed Image Text:1. The water in a lake has an average temperature of 15°C. If the barometric pressure of the atmosphere is 720 mm of Hg (mercury), determine the gage pressure and the absolute
pressure at a water depth of 14m. Take pw-999.2 kg/m and pHe 13,550 kg/m2.
2. If the absolute pressure in a tank is 140 kPa, determine the pressure head in mm of mercury. The atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa and PHg-13,550 kg/m.
3. The soaking bin contains ethyl alcohol used for cleaning automobile parts. If the pressure in the enclosure is pe-0.5 psi, determine the pressure developed at point A and the height h
of the ethyl alcohol level in the bin. Take yen-49.3 lb/ft'.
