2.The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multifluid manometer as shown in figure. Determine the gage pressure of air in the tank if h₁ = 0.4 m, h₂ = 0.6 m, and h3 = 0.8 m. Take the densities of water, oil, and mercury to be 1000 kg/m³, 850 kg/m³, and 13,600 kg/m³. respectively.
