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 rises a distance d = 9 inches along the manometer tube, which is
inclined = 30° from the horizontal. The atmospheric pressure is 14.7 lbf/in² and the acceleration of gravity is 32.2 ft/s².
