Question

A cylindrical tank contains water at a height of 55 mm, as shown. Inside is a small open cylindrical tank containing cleaning fluid (s.g = 0.8) at a height h. The pressure Pb=13.4 kPa gage and Pc=13.42 kPa gage. Assume the cleaning fluid is prevented from moving to the top of the tank. Use unit weight of water = 9.79 kN/m^3. (a) Determine the pressure Pa in kPa, (b) the value of h in mm, and (c) the value of y in millimeters. 

Problem 2- 52
A cylindrical tank contains water at a height of 55 mm, as shown. Inside is a
small open cylindrical tank containing cleaning fluid (s.g. 0.8) at a height h.
The pressure PB = 13.4 kPa gage and pc = 13.42 kPa gage. Assume the cleaning
fluid is prevented from moving to the top of the tank. Use unit weight of
water = 9.79 kN/m³. (a) Determine the pressure pPa in kPa, (b) the value of h in
mm, and (c) the value of y in millimeters.
