A manometer is used to measure the pressure of a gas in a tank. The fluid used has a specific gravity of 0.85, and the manometer column height is 55 cm, as shown in Fig. 1-56. If the local atmospheric pressure is 96 kPa, determine the absolute pressure within the tank.

A manometer containing two oils is used to assess the pressure of air in a storage tank. Given the configuration of the oils in the picture, calculate the pressure in the tank. The density of air is negligible to the density of the oils (?oil1 = 1000 ??/m3; ?oil2 = 400 ??/m3 ). The height of oil 1 is 1 ?, and the height of oil 2 is 0.8 ?. The atmospheric pressure is 98 ???. The manometer is ipen to the atmosphere.
Manometer and guage pressure are connected to one gas tank. If the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa and the liquid level in both manometers is different from 0.75 m. (The liquid inside is mercury), find the absolute pressure of the gas tank. this (specify the density of mercury is 13,000 kg/m3)
Consider a tall building. The air pressure at the bottom of the building is 101155Pa. The top of the building is 363m above. Assuming that the air density is constant at 1.225kg/m³, what is the percentage drop in pressure at the top of the building relative to the pressure at the bottom? Give your answer to 1 decimal place. Use the acceleration due to gravity of 9.81m/s².

A U-tube manometer containing a light oil (specific gravity 0.7) is used to measure the static pressure of air (density 1.2 kg/m³) in a container. If the gauge pressure is 206 N/m², what is the indicated height of oil?
A simple U tube manometer is used to measure the pressure of oil flowing in a pipeline. Its left limb is open to the atmosphere and the right limb is connected to the pipe. The center of the pipe is 60 mm below the level of mercury in the left limb. If the difference of mercury level in the two limbs is 137 mm, determine the gauge pressure of the oil in the pipe in Pascal. The specific gravity of the oil & mercury is 0.88 and 13.6 respectively. Solution: (i) Density of oil in kg/m3 (ii) Density of mercury in kg/m3 (iii) Height of the Oil in the right limb (in meters of oil) h1 (iv) The gauge pressure of the oil in the pipe in (in Pascal)
