Chapter 8, Problem 30RQ

A sensor is submerged in a silo to detect any bacterial growth in the stored fluid. The stored fluid has a density of 2.2 grams per cubic centimeters [g/cm3]. What is the hydrostatic pressure felt by the sensor at a depth of 30 meters [m] in units of atmospheres [atm]?

A company has several sensors in storage silos to detect the total pressure in the silos to ensure the tanks will not leak. Each tank is designed to withstand a maximum total pressure of 5.8 atmospheres​ [atm]. An engineer wants to use one of the silos to store liquid nitric​ acid, which has a density of 97​ pound-mass per cubic foot ​[lbm​/ft3​]. If the tank is filled to a depth of 80 feet​ [ft], how much surface pressure in units of atmospheres​ [atm] can be applied to the top of the liquid inside the tank without exceeding the maximum total pressure of the​ silo?
