1. The field storage tank is filled with oil. This standpipe is connected to the tank at C, and the system is open to the
atmosphere at B and E. ρo = 1.78 slug/ 3
a. Determine the maximum pressure in the tank is psi if the oil reaches a level of F in the pipe.
b. At what level should the oil be, in the tank, so that the absolute maximum pressure occurs in the tank?

2. The closed tank was completely filled with carbon tetrachloride when the valve at B was opened, slowly le ng
the carbon tetrachloride (ρCT = 3.09 slug/ 3) level drop as shown. If the space within A is a vacuum,
a. Determine the pressure in the liquid near valve B when h = 25 .
b. Determine at what level h the carbon tetrachloride will stop flowing out.

bubble’s diameter when it reaches the surface. The water temperature is 68°F and the atmospheric pressure is
14.7 lb/in2.

funnel so that the water remains at a depth C, and the mercury level made h = 0.8 m. Take ρo = 900 kg/m3, ρw =
1000 kg/m3, ρHg = 13550 kg/m3.

5. Butyl carbitol, used in the produc on of plas cs, is stored in a tank having a U-tube manometer. Take SHg = 13.55,

by 2 kPa, determine the new differen al reading h of the manometer. Take ρhgl = 923 kg/m3, ρHg = 13550 kg/m3.

the dam.
