The pressure at the bottom of a tank of propyl alcohol at 25° C must be maintained at 52.75 kPa(gage). What depth of alcohol should be maintained? When you dive to a depth of 12.50 ft in seawater, what is the pressure?

A storage tank for sulfuric acid is 1.5 m in diameter and 4.0 m high. If the acid has a specific gravity of 1.80, calculate the pressure at the bottom of the tank. The tank is open to the atmosphere at the top. A storage drum for crude oil (sg=0.89) is 32 ft deep and

Describe a simple U-tube manometer.Describe a differential U-tube manometer. Describe a well-type manometer. Describe an inclined well-type manometer. Describe a compound manometer. Water is in the pipe shown in Fig. 3.26. Calculate the pressure at point A in kPa(gage).

The greatest known depth in the ocean is approximately 11.0 km. Assuming that the specific weight of the water is constant at 10.0 kN/m3, calculate the pressure at this depth. Figure 3.23 shows a closed tank that contains gasoline floating on water. Calculate the air pressure above the gasoline.

For the manometer shown in Fig. 3.28, calculate

For the manometer shown in Fig. 3.29, calculate

For the manometer shown in Fig. 3.30, calculate

A 1.0-m-diameter hollow sphere weighing 200 N is attached to a solid concrete block weighing 4.1 kN. If the concrete has a specific weight of 23.6 kN/m3, will the two objects together float or sink in water? A certain standard steel pipe has an outside diameter of 168 mm, and a 1 m length of

If the aluminum weights described in Problem 5.10 are placed outside the drum, what volume will be required? Figure shows a cube floating in a fluid. Derive an expression relating the submerged depth X , the specific weight of the cube, and the specific weight of the fluid.

A cylindrical float has a 10-in diameter and is 12 in long. What should be the specific weight of the float material if it is to have 9/10 of its volume below the surface of a fluid with a specific gravity of 1.10? A buoy is a solid cylinder 0.3 m in diameter and 1.2
