[1] For the shown figure, what is the pressure PA if the specific gravity of the oil is 0.82?

[2] Find the absolute pressure at A if the atmospheric pressure is given 101.3 Kpa.

[3] A closed cylindrical tank filled with water has a


hemispherical dome and is connected to an inverted piping
system as shown in Figure. The liquid in the top part of the
piping system has a specific gravity of 0.8, and the
remaining parts of the system are filled with water. If the
pressure gage reading at A is 60 kPa, determine (a) the
pressure in pipe B, and (b) the pressure head, in
millimeters of mercury, at the top of the dome (point C).

[4] The cylindrical tank with hemispherical ends shown in Figure


contains a volatile liquid and its vapor. The liquid density is 800
kg/m3, and its vapor density is negligible. The pressure in the
vapor is 120 kPa (abs) and the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa
(abs). Determine: (a) the gage pressure reading on the
pressure gage, and (b) the height, h, of the mercury,
manometer.

[5] An air-filled, hemispherical shell is attached to the ocean floor


at a depth of 10 m as shon in figure. A mercury barometer located
inside the shell reads 765 mm Hg, and a mercury U-tube
manometer designed to give the outside water oressure indicates
a differential reading of 735 mm Hg as illustrated. Based on these
data what is the atmosheric pressure at the ocean surface?
[6] An inverted U-tube manometer containing oil (SG 0.8) is located between two
reservoirs as shown in Figure. The reservoir on the left, which contains carbon
tetrachloride, is closed and pressurized to 8 psi. The reservoir on the right contains water
and is open to the atmosphere. With the given data, determine the depth of water, h, in
the right reservoir.

[7] A piston having a cross-sectional area of 0.07 m2 is located in a cylinder containing


water as shown in Figure. An open U-tube manometer is connected to the cylinder as
shown. For h1 =60 mm and h =100 mm, what is the value of the applied force, P, acting
on the piston? The weight of the piston is negligible

[8] For the inclined-tube manometer of Figure, the pressure in pipe A is 0.6 psi. The fluid in
both pipes A and B is water, and the gage fluid in the manometer has a specific gravity of
2.6. What is the pressure in pipe B corresponding to the differential reading shown?
