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 Ib/ft?. The manometer fluid rises a distance d- 15 inches along the manometer tube, which is inclined e = 30° from the horizontal. The atmospheric pressure is 14.7 lbf/in? and the acceleration of gravity is 32.2 ft/s?. Patm = 14.7 Ibf/in.? %3D Gas reservoir g = 32.2 fus? 20 in. Mercury (p = 845 Ib/ft) %3D Determine the gas pressure, in Ibf/in?. Express the pressure as a gage or a vacuum pressure, as appropriate, in Ibf/in.
