4. A 2m by 2.5 m closed tank, 12 meters high contains 2m of liquid A, 2.50m of water, 1.50m of sea water (SG=1.03), 1.80m of kerosene (0.85), 0.90m of mercury, and air(0.0012). There is a reading of 70 kPa gage at P attached to the top of the tank. The total pressure at the bottom of the tank is 303 kPa. Determine the a. specific gravity of liquid A b. weight of liquid A in kN
