Question

1. A water tank is connected to a manometer with a fluid having a specific gravity of 2.0. The depth of the water in the tank is 1 m and the area of the bottom is 1 m$^2$. Determine 1) the pressure at the top of the tank, and 2) the pressure force on the bottom of the tank. Use gage, not absolute pressure. (25 points).
