A manometer is a device that measures pressure using the height h of a column of liquid. What is the gauge pressure in the tank if the height of a mercury column, h, is 2 m? Specific weight of water = 9810 N/m^3 = 62.4 lb/ft^3, Patmospheric = 1.013 x 10^5 N/m^2 = 14.7 psi Mass density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

An open-tube mercury manometer is used to measure the pressure in an oxygen tank. The atmospheric pressure is 1040 mbar. 1 bar = 10^5 N/m^2. The density of mercury is 13.6 Ă— 10^3 kg/m^3. Determine the absolute pressure (in Pa) in the tank if the height of the mercury in the open tube is 20.5 cm higher than the mercury in the tube connected to the tank. Determine the absolute pressure (in Pa) in the tank if the height of the mercury in the open tube is 7.6 cm lower than the mercury in the tube connected to the tank.

A closed tank contains compressed air and oil (SGoil-0.90). A U-tube manometer using mercury (SGhg-13.6) is connected to the tank. Using the given columns of height h1-36in, h2-6in, and h3-9in, determine the gauge pressure reading (in PSI). Use Yh2o=62.4lb/ft3.
