2. You have a large storage tank having 95 inches of ethylene glycol and 45 inches of ethanol, one floating on top of the other. If the two liquids are not mixed, which one is on top? Why? If the tank is enclosed and has a gas pressure (gage) at its top of 6 psi, what is the pressure at the bottom of the tank (in psi)? [ethanol on top because it has a lower density, P = 11.1 psi]

2.
You have a large storage tank having 95 inches of ethylene glycol and 45 inches of
ethanol, one floating on top of the other. If the two liquids are not mixed, which one is
on top? Why? If the tank is enclosed and has a gas pressure (gage) at its top of 6 psi,
what is the pressure at the bottom of the tank (in psi)? [ethanol on top because it has a
lower density, P = 11.1 psi]

You house uses natural gas for heating. The supply pipe for the natural gas in your house
has a pressure of 0.25 psi. If you want to monitor the supply pressure with a engine oil-
filled manometer, what would be its minimum height (in ft)? [h=0.732 ft]
