Figure Q2 shows two tanks which contain the solvent used for plastic manufacturing.
Tank A contains the cyclohexanol and Tank B contains the ethyl lactate. Calculate the
pressure on the top of tank A, if the mercury in the manometer is at the level as shown,
where h = 0.75 m. Take the specific gravities of cyclohexanol, mercury, and ethyl
lactate as, Seyclo = 0.953, Smercury = 13.55 and Sethyl = 1.03.
