A closed tank contains 0.5 m thick layer of mercury (specific gravity = 13.6) at the bottom. A 2.0 m thick layer of water lies above the mercury layer. A 3.0 m thick layer of oil (specific gravity = 0.6) lies above the water layer. The space above the oil layer contains air under pressure. The gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank is 196.2 kN/ m². The density of water is 1000 kg/m³ and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s². The value of pressure in the air space is
Solve for the absolute pressure of oil at 10-m below its surface if the barometric reading is equivalent to 752 mmHg. Oil specific gravity = 0.75.
