2.32 The cyclindrical tank with hemispherical ends shown in Fig. P2.32 contains a volatile liquid and its vapor. The liquid density is 800 kg/m³, and its vapor density is negligible. The pressure in the vapor is 120 kPa (abs), and the atmospheric pres- sure is 101 kPa (abs). Determine (a) the gage pressure reading on the pressure gage and (b) the height, h, of the mercury manometer.
