- The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multifluid manometer as shown in Figure below. The tank is located on a mountain at an altitude of 1400 m where the atmospheric pressure is 85.6 kPa. Take the densities of water, oil, and mercury to be 1000 kg/m3, 850 kg/m3 and 13600 kg/m3 respectively.
