As shown in the figure, an inclined manometer is used to measure the pressure of the gas within the reservoir. The manometer fluid is mercury, which has a density of 845 lb/ft³. The manometer fluid risera distance d = 7 inches along the manometer tube, which is inclined 0 = 20° from the horizontal. The atmospheric pressure is 14.7 lbf/in² and the acceleration of gravity is 32.2 ft/s². Gas reservoir B Mercury (p = 845 lb/ft³) Determine the gas pressure, in lbf/in². Express the pressure as a gage or a vacuum pressure, as appropriate, in lbf/in². Patm = 14.7 lbf/in.² g=32.2 ft/s² 20 in.
