A manometer is connected to a tank on the side (see below). There are two layers of different liquids in the tank: water (SG = 1.0) and industrial oil (SG = 3.0). The dept of water in the tank is 15 cm. The depth of industrial oil is 20 cm. Assuming the bottom of the tank is datum (i.e., elevation = 0 cm), what is most approximately the elevation of the industrial oil surface in the manometer relative to the datum? 15 cm 20 cm Water S=3.0 Ah = ?

Question
A manometer is connected to a tank on the side (see below). There are two layers of different liquids in the tank: water (SG = 1.0) and industrial oil (SG = 3.0). The depth of water in the tank is 15 cm. The depth of industrial oil is 20 cm. Assuming the bottom of the tank is datum (i.e., elevation = 0 cm), what is most approximately the elevation of the industrial oil surface in the manometer relative to the datum? 15 cm 20 cm O 5 cm O 25 cm O 15 cm O 10 cm Water S=3.0 Ah = ?

Expert Solution
Step 1: Determine given data:
A manometer is connected to the bottom of the tank for measuring pressure

Specific Gravity of Water= 1
Specific Gravity of Industrial oil =3
Depth of Water in Tank =H subscript 1 equals 15 c m equals 0.15 m
Depth of Industrial oil in Tank = H subscript 2 equals 20 c m equals 0.20 m
straight gamma left parenthesis Unit space Weight space of space Water right parenthesis space equals 9.81 KN divided by straight m cubed
straight gamma space left parenthesis Unit space Weight space of space Industrial space Oil right parenthesis space equals space 9.81 cross times 3 space KN divided by straight m cubed
