Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the pressure at the bottom of the tank using the formula P = ρgh, where P is the pressure, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the fluid column. Show more…

A pressure gage connected to a tank reads 50 psi at a location where the barometric reading is 29.1 in $\mathrm{Hg} .$ Determine the absolute pressure in the tank. Take $\rho_{\mathrm{Hr}}=848.4 \mathrm{lbm} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}$.

Bourdon gages (see Video V2.4 and Fig. 2.13) are commonly used to measure pressure. When such a gage is attached to the closed water tank of Fig. $\mathrm{P} 2.27$ the gage reads 5 psi. What is the absolute air pressure is the tank? Assume standard atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psi.
