hello tutor, i have here questions that have answers. so i am requesting you to provide the necessary solution to come up with the given answer. I hope you help me. thanks

Transcribed Image Text:4. A vacuum gauge reads 8 in. Hg when the atmospheric pressure is 29.0 in. Hg. Ifſthe specific
gravity of mercury is 13.6, compute the absolute pressure in psi. Ans:10.3 psia
5. In a U-tube manometer, one end is closed, trapping atmospheric air in the column. The
other end is connected to a pressure supply of 5 psig. If the level of mercury in the closed
end is 2 in. higher than that in the open end, what is the pressure of the trapped air?
Ans:18.72psia
