Chapter 3, Problem 3.57P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

An explanation for the calibration curve to be a straight line is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The hydrostatic pressure may be defined as the ratio of the force $\left(F\right)$ exerted on the base to the base area $\left(A\right)$. The exerted force equals to the sum of force on the top surface and the weight of fluid in the column. The corresponding equation is expressed as,

$P=P_{\text{ο}}+\rho gh$

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The liquid level determined from the calibration curve as too high, too low, or correct for the given values is to be identified and an explanation corresponding to it is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The hydrostatic pressure may be defined as the ratio of the force $\left(F\right)$ exerted on the base to the base area $\left(A\right)$. The exerted force equals to the sum of force on the top surface and the weight of fluid in the column. The corresponding equation is expressed as,

$P=P_{\text{ο}}+\rho gh$

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The observed values read from the calibration curve if the actual value of liquid level is $8.0\text{m}$ and if the tank has height of $\text{10}\text{.0}\text{m}$, when it overflows are to be calculated.
