a. Determine the gage reading when the tank is full of gasoline
b. How many cm of air remains at the top when the gage indicates full if the tank is A deep and is
contaminated with B of water.
c. Determine the pressure at the interface of the gasoline and water when the gage indicates full
A = First name in inches
