The water in a tank is pressurized by air, 4 points and the pressure is measured by a multifluid manometer as shown. 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, 850 , and 13,600 kg/m^3, respectively.
