Answer to Question #259812 in Mechanical Engineering for Jool

Question

The gage pressure of a gas inside a tank is 25kPa. Determine the vertical height, in meters, of liquid within a manometer attached to the system if the fluid at room temperature is (a) water, (b)mercury (ρ=13,600kg/m3), and (c) an oil with a specific gravity of 0.88 and g=9.75 m/s2

Answer 1

pressure: 25kPa ; NL = 30.00m ; E = 2.0x106kg/cm2 ; G=0.88 ; W = 0.03kg

$\text Try\space Pn = 5.78$

5.1683 = $\frac{2.12}{(5.1683-5)^{1/2}}$

it very close to the answer.

So it holds on the water
