Assignment (2)
1. Define the term 'pressure'?

2. Mention some basic pressure measurement devices?

3. The gage pressure in a liquid at a depth of 3 m is read to be 28 kPa. Determine the gage
pressure in the same liquid at a depth of 12 m.

4. A vacuum gage connected to a chamber reads 24 kPa at a location where the atmospheric
pressure is 92 kPa. Determine the absolute pressure in the chamber.

5. The absolute pressure in water at a depth of 5 m is read to be 145 kPa. Determine (a) the
local atmospheric pressure, and (b) the absolute pressure at a depth of 5 m in a liquid
whose specific gravity is 0.85 at the same location.

6. The barometer of a mountain hiker reads 930 mbars at the beginning of a hiking trip and
780 mbars at the end. Neglecting the effect of altitude on local gravitational acceleration,
determine the vertical distance climbed. Assume an average air density of 1.20 kg/m3.

7. Both a gauge and a manometer are attached to a gas tank to measure its pressure. If the
reading of the pressure gage is 65 kPa, determine the distance between the two fluid levels
of the manometer if the fluid is (a) mercury (ρ= 13,600 kg/m3) or (b) water (ρ= 1000
kg/m3).

8. A mercury manometer is connected to an air duct to measure the pressure inside. The
difference in the manometer levels is 10 mm, and the atmospheric pressure is equal to 76
cm Hg. (i) Judge from the figure whether the pressure inside the duct is gage or vacuum,
and (ii) Determine the absolute pressure in the duct. (Take ρHg = 13600 kg/m3)

9. Repeat Prob. 8 (The previous problem) for a differential mercury height of 25 mm.

10. The gage pressure of the air in the tank shown in the below Figure is measured to be 65kPa.
Determine the differential height (h) of the mercury column.
