Question

The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multifluid manometer as shown in the figure below. The tank is located on a mountain at an altitude of 1400m where the atmospheric pressure is 85.6 kPa. Determine the air pressure in the tank if h1 = 0.1 m, h2 = 0.2 m, and h3 = 0.35 m. Take the densities of water, oil, and mercury to be 1000 kg/m^3, 850 kg/m^3, and 13600 kg/m^3 respectively.

Step 1

6 \, \text{kPa} \) - Heights of the fluid columns: \( h_1 = 0.1 \, \text{m} \), \( h_2 = 0.2 \, \text{m} \), \( h_3 = 0.35 \, \text{m} \) - Densities of the fluids: - Water: \( \rho_{\text{water}} = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - Oil: \( \rho_{\text{oil}} = 850 \, Show more…
