A closed tank contains 0.50m of mercury, 2m of water, 3m of oil of specific gravity 0.6 and there is air space above the oil. If the gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank is 200 kPa what is the pressure of air at the top of the tank? (Ans: 96kPa) 17. A two liquid double column enlarged ends monometer is used to measure a high precision pressure difference between two points in a pipe line containing gas under pressure. The basins are partly filled with methyl alcohol of specific gravity 0.78 and the lower portion of the Utube is filled with mercury. The specific weight of gas is 4.67N/m3 find the pressure difference if the U-tube reading is 3cm and diameter of the basin is 15 times that of the U-tube. 20. A vertical dock gate is 6 meters wide and has water to a depth of 8 metres on the other side and to a depth of 4 meters on the other side. Find the resultant horizontal force on the dock gate and the position of its line of action. To what position does this line tend as the depth of water on the shallow side rises to 8 meters? (Ans: 4meters) 23. A cylindrical gate 2m in diameter is kept on a floor in such a way that its longitudinal axis is horizontal. It has water on its both sides so that the depth of water on one side is 2m whereas on the other side it is 1m. Determine the magnitude and the direction of the resultant hydrostatic force exerted on the gate per meter length of the gate. Also calculate the minimum weight of the gate so that it will not float away from the floor. (Ans: 27.4kN, 57.31, 23.1kN) 26.
