Must answer both A and B

Question 1:
The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multifluid manometer
as shown in figure below. If hl 5 0.2 m, h2 5 0.3 m, and h3 5 0.4 m
A) Determine the difference between the gage pressure of air in the tank and the atmospheric
pressure acting at point 2. Take the densities of water, oil, and mercury to be 1000 kg/m3,
850 kg/m3, and 13,600 kg/m3, respectively.
B) Suppose the atmospheric pressure at point 2 equals 0, and the air pressure equals 6 pa.
What is the specific gravity of the oil if the densities of water and mercury equal to 1000
kg/m' and 13,600 kg/m', respectively.
