Calculate the pressure, in kPa, at A, B, C, and D in Fig. 2-8.
PA=-(0.4+0.4)(9.790) = -7.832 kPa; Pa (0.5)(9.790) 4.895 kPa. Neglecting air, Pc Pa=4.895 kPa;
Pp 4.895+(0.9)(9.790)(1+0.5+0.4) 21.636 kPa.

The air-oil-water system shown in Fig. 2-13 is at 70 °F. If gage A reads 16.1 lb/in abs and gage B reads
2.00 lb/in less than gage C, compute (a) the specific weight of the oil and (b) the reading of
gage C.
I (a) (16.1)(144) + (0.0750)(3) + (You)(2) =Pa, Pa +(You)(2) + (62.4)(3) =Pc. Since Pc-Pa=2.00,
(You)(2) +(62.4)(3) = (2.00)(144), Yoil = 50.4 lb/ft. (b) (16.1)(144) + (0.0750)(3) + (50.4)(2) Pa.
P=2419 lb/ft; Pc=2419 + (2.00)(144) = 2707 lb/ft, or 18.80 lb/in?.
