P 1: Pressure gage B is to measure pressure at point A in a water flow. If the pressure at B is 84 kPa, estimate the pressure at A, in kPa. Assume all fluids are at 20°C. See figure for details.

Step 1
60 m below the free surface connected to B via water at same level? From figure details inferred: B is 0.25 m above free surface? (Use given geometry: vertical difference AB = 0.85 m with B above A by 0.85 m.) Show more…

(a) A large tank contains water at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ and the absolute pressure $12 \mathrm{~m}$ below the surface of the water is measured as $200 \mathrm{kPa}$. Estimate the atmospheric pressure above the tank. (b) If the water in the tank was replaced by a liquid with a specific gravity of $0.85,$ what absolute pressure and what gauge pressure would be measured $6 \mathrm{~m}$ below the surface of the liquid?
In Fig., pressure gage A reads 2+X kPa (gage). The fluids are at 20°C. Determine the elevations z, in meters, of the liquid levels in the open piezometer tubes B and C.

Consider the manometer in Fig. P1-78. If the specific weight of fluid $\mathrm{A}$ is $100 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^{3},$ what is the absolute pressure, in $\mathrm{kPa}$, indicated by the manometer when the local atmospheric pressure is $90 \mathrm{kPa} ?$
