HYDRAULICS A closed tank contains layers of fluids namely, air, oil(s=0.82), water, and molasses. If each fluid has a uniform thickness of 1.2 m, determine the maximum pressure on the bottom if an open mercury manometer tapped at the wall where air is present, indicates a reading of 200 mm of mercury vacuum. At which liquid is the pressure intensity of 0 occurring? How high above the bottom of the tank is it occurring?

HYDRAULICS
A closed tank contains layers of fluids namely, air, oil(s=0.82), water, and molasses. If each fluid has a uniform
thickness of 1.2 m, determine the maximum pressure on the bottom if an open mercury manometer tapped at
the wall where air is present, indicates a reading of 200 mm of mercury vacuum. At which liquid is the pressure
intensity of 0 occurring? How high above the bottom of the tank is it occurring?
