2. Find the fluid height (in meter of oil) in the piezometer tube attached to a
pressurized tank with multilayer fluids, see Fig. (2.16). (Ans. h = 25.93 m of
oil)
¿ 62.4∗5+12∗0.7∗62.4+2880=3716.16
Pbottom=Pwater =Poil
3716.16=( γh )w =( γh )o

62.4∗0.7
⟹ h0= =25.93 m of oil
3.28 ft
3. If the gage pressure is equal to 3.43 N/cm 2 and atmospheric pressure is 71cm of
mercury, find the absolute pressure in meter of water?
Solution:
P|.|=Pgage + Patm .

5. The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multi-
fluid manometer as shown in Fig. (2.18). The tank is located on a mountain at an
altitude of 1400 m where the atmospheric pressure is 85.6 KPa. Determine the air
pressure in the tank if h1=0.1m, h2 =0.2 m,∧h3=0.35 m . Take the densities of water,
oil, and mercury to be 1000 kg/m3, 850 kg/m3, and 13600 kg/m3, respectively.
(Ans. 130KPa)
