The absolute pressure in the tank is found to be 1.206 bar. In the measurement of this pressure a U-tube manometer was used. The difference in level was found to be 72.5 cm. The barometric pressure was 72 cm of Hg. Determine the specific weight of the liquid used in the manometer. A standard atmospheric pressure = 1.01325 bar.

The absolute pressure in the tank is
found to be 1.206 bar. In the
measurement of this pressure a U-tube
manometer was used. The difference in
level was found to be 72.5 cm. The
barometric pressure was 72 cm of Hg.
Determine the specific weight of the
liquid used in the manometer. A standard
atmospheric pressure = 1.01325 bar.
