Question
Solve the following:
1.) Determine the absolute pressure at 250
cm below the free surface of oil
(specific gravity = 0.80) if the atmospheric
pressure is 101 kPa.
a.) A barometer reads 760 mm Hg and a
pressure gage attached to a tank of oil
(s = 0.8) reads 850 cm. What is the
absolute pressure in the tank in kilogram
per square centimeter?
b.) In a condenser containing air and water,
the air pressure is 22.1 kPa absolute. What is
the gage pressure in kiloNewton per square
meter at a point 1.37 m below the water
surface.
