Required information A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tank. The fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.40, and the differential height between the two arms of the manometer is 18.6 in. The local atmospheric pressure is 12.7 psia. The specific gravity of the fluid is given to be 1.40. The density of water at 32°F is 62.4 Ibm/ft3. Determine the absolute pressure in the tank for the case of the manometer arm with the higher fluid level being attached to the tank. The absolute pressure in the tank is 13.96 psia.
