The document presents solutions to three fluid mechanics problems involving pressure measurements in tanks with different liquids. It calculates the elevation of liquid surfaces, total pressure at the bottom of a tank, and pressures at various points using given specific gravities and heights. The final results include specific pressures and heights for each problem, demonstrating the application of fluid statics principles.

Problem 2

For the open tank, with piezometers attached on


the side, contains two different liquids
A. the elevation of liquid surface in piezometer A,
B. the total pressure at the bottom of the tank
C.the elevation of liquid surface in piezometer B

Solution:
A. the elevation of liquid surface in
piezometer A
=2m
b. Pbottom = 9.81 (0.72) (2-0.3) + 9.81 (2.36)
(0.3)
= 18.95 kPa
C.
0 + 9.81 (0.72) (1.7) + 9.81 (2.36) (0.3) – 2.36
(h) (9.81)
Problem 3
Oil of specific gravity of 0.750 flows through the
nozzle shown and deflects the mercury in the U
tube gage
A.Determine the value of h if the pressure at A
is 142 kPa
B.What is the pressure at B

SOLUTION:
A. 142 + 9.81 (0.750) (h + 2.75) – 13.6 (9.81)
(h) = 0
142 – 126.0585h + 20.233 = 0
h = 1.29m
B. Pressure B = 142 +(9.81) (0.750) (2.75 +
1.29)
=177.72 kPa

Problem 1
The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the
pressure is measured by a multifluid manometer as
shown in the figure. Determine the gage pressure of
the air in the tank if h1 = 1.2 m, h2 = 1.4 m, and h3
= 1.6 m. Take the densities of water, oil, and
mercury to be 1000 kg/m', 850 kg/m', and 13,600
kg/m3, respectively.

Solution:
ρmgh3=13600×9.8×0.35
=46648Paρmgh3
=13600×9.8×0.35
=46648Pa
ρogh1=850×9.8×0.1
=833Paρogh1
=850×9.8×0.1
=833Pa
ρwgh2=1000×9.8×0.2
=1960Paρwgh2
=1000×9.8×0.2
=1960Pa

Pair=85600+46648−833−1960
Pair=85600+46648−833−1960
=129455Pa
Pair=129.45Kpa
Pair=129.45KPa
therefore pressure of air in the tank is
129.45KPa.
