An open tank contains water up to a depth of 1.2m from the bottom and above it mercury for a depth of 0.8m and above it an oil of specific gravity 0.8 for a depth of 1m. Assume the atmospheric pressure is 1 bar. Find the gauge pressure and absolute pressure i) at the bottom of the container, ii) at the interface of water and mercury and iii) at the interface of an oil and mercury. ( i) At bottom Gauge Pressure = ________________N/m2 Absolute Pressure =_________________ N/m2 ii) At the interface of water and mercury Gauge Pressure =_______________ N/m2 Absolute pressure =_____________ N/m2 iii) At the interface of oil and mercury Gauge Pressure =_____________ N/m2 Absolute Pressure = _________________ N/m2

Find the gauge pressure and absolute pressure
i) at the bottom of the container,
ii) at the interface of water and mercury and
iii) at the interface of an oil and mercury. (
i) At bottom
Gauge Pressure = ________________N/m2
Absolute Pressure =_________________ N/m2
ii) At the interface of water and mercury
Gauge Pressure =_______________ N/m2
Absolute pressure =_____________ N/m2
iii) At the interface of oil and mercury
Gauge Pressure =_____________ N/m2
Absolute Pressure = _________________ N/m2
