the oil layer contains air under pressure. the bottom, A 2 m thick layer of water of mercury (specific gravity = 13.6) at A closed tank contains 0.5 m thick layer lies above the mercury layer. A 3 m thick layer of oil (specific gravity = 0.6) lies above the water layer. The space above %3D The gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank is 196.2kN/m². The density of water is 1000 kg/m' and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81m/s. The value of pressure in the air space is
