Transcribed Image Text:2.37 A U-tube manometer is connected to a closed tank contain-
ing air and water as shown in Fig. P2.37. At the closed end of the
manometer the air pressure is 16 psia. Determine the reading on the
pressure gage for a differential reading of 4 ft on the manometer.
Express your answer in psi (gage). Assume standard atmospheric
pressure and neglect the weight of the air columns in the manometer.
