MI) As illustrated, a mercury manometer is attached to the side of a nearly full water tank. The reading of the mercury column is 15.5 in Hg gage. Although air on the water maintains the pressure, the other 10-in. leg of the manometer is water. For full of H₂0, p=62.3 lb/ft 3; for Hg, p=8461b/ft³. If the location is at standard gravity and the temperature of both the water and mercury is 60°F, what is the pressure (psia) in the tank at the level where the manometer is attached? If the tank extends 10 ft below this level, what is the pressure at this depth?

Transcribed Image Text:III) As illustrated, a mercury manometer is attached
water
to the side of a nearly full water tank. The
reading of the mercury column is 15.5 in Hg gage.
Although air on the
maintains the pressure,
the other 10-in. leg of the manometer is full of
water. For H₂0, p=62.3 lb/ft 3; for Hg, p= 846lb/ft³
If the location is at standard gravity and the
temperature of both the water and mercury is 60°F,
what is the pressure (psia) in the tank at the
level where the manometer is attached? If the tank
level, what is the pressure
extends 10 ft below this
at this depth?
