1.45 A 2.5 m tall steel cylinder has a cross sectional area of 1.5 m2. At the bottom with
a height of 0.5 m is liquid water on top of which is a 1 m high layer of gasoline.
This is shown in Fig. P1.45. The gasoline surface is exposed to atmospheric air at
101 kPa. What is the highest pressure in the water?

cross-sectional area A and total height H, as shown in Fig. P1.50. Air is let in
under the piston so it pushes up, spilling the water over the edge. Derive the
formula for the air pressure as a function of piston elevation from the bottom, h.

1.75 Two cylinders are connected by a piston as shown in Fig. P1.75. Cylinder A is
used as a hydraulic lift and pumped up to 500 kPa. The piston mass is 25 kg and
there is standard gravity. What is the gas pressure in cylinder B?

1.76 In the city water tower, water is pumped up to a level 25 m above ground in a
pressurized tank with air at 150 kPa over the water surface. This is illustrated in
Fig. P1.76. Assuming the water density is 1000 kg/m3 and standard gravity, find
the pressure required to pump more water in at ground level.
