A closed pressurized tank shown below is filled with oil and mercury. Mercury is confined in an internal reservoir inside the closed tank, the height of mercury is 450mm. An open manometer is placed on the bottom left part of the tank with liquid “X” as its gage liquid , the deflection from the gage liquid shows 800mm. Determine the following: a) Height of the oil from point A up to point c if height A to C is 5 times the height of y. b) Pressure at point B in kPa. c) Pressure at point C in psi.

Question
A closed pressurized tank shown below is filled with oil and mercury. Mercury is confined in
an internal reservoir inside the closed tank, the height of mercury is 450mm. An open
manometer is placed on the bottom left part of the tank with liquid “X” as its gage liquid , the
deflection from the gage liquid shows 800mm. Determine the following:
a) Height of the oil from point A up to point c if height A to C is 5 times the height of y.
b) Pressure at point B in kPa.
c) Pressure at point C in psi.
