A pressurized tank filled with water is connected to a manometer, the end of which is closed by a valve. The gage fluid has a specific gravity of 1.4. A pressure gage is placed 4 ft below the surface of water in the tank. If the reading of the pressure gage is 6 psi and the manometer reading is 5 ft, determine the gage pressure of the air (Pair ) at the end of the manometer.
