A manometer is used to indicate the pressure inside of a suspiciously cubical gas tank (gas as in vapor, not gas as in gasoline). The manometer is filled with a gauge fluid which claims a specific gravity of 0.85, and the fluid is currently 55 cm tall. The ambient atmospheric pressure is 96 kPa. Determine the absolute and gauge pressure inside the gas tank (kPa) Gas BJ
