Question

Transcribed Image Text:1. AU-tube manometer is connected to a closed tank
containing air and water is shown. At the closed
end of the manometer the air pressure is 16 psia.
Determine the reading on the pressure gage for a
differential reading of 4 ft on the manometer.
Express your answer in psi (gage). Assume standard
atmospheric pressure and neglect the weight of
the air columns in the manometer.
