A manometer containing oil (? = 850 kg/m3) is attached to a tank filled with air. If the oil-level difference between the two columns is 150 cm and the atmospheric pressure is 98 kPa, determine the absolute pressure of the air in the tank.
The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multifluid manometer as shown in Fig. The tank is located on a mountain at an altitude of 1500 m where the atmospheric pressure is 75.6 kPa. Determine the air pressure in the tank if h1 =50.1 m, h2 =5 0.2 m, and h3 =5 0.35 m. Take the densities of water, oil, and mercury to be 1000 kg/m3, 900 kg/m3, and 13,600 kg/m3 respectively.
