Problem Solving for Chapter 3

Problem 1: The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a
multifluid manometer as shown in Fig. Determine the gage pressure of air in the tank if h1 = 0.4
m, h2 = 0.6 m, and h3 = 0.8 m. Take the densities of water, oil, and mercury to be 1000 kg/m3,
850 kg/m3, and 13,600 kg/m3, respectively.
Problem 2: A gas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston cylinder device. The piston has a
mass of 4 kg and a cross-sectional area of 35 cm2. A compressed spring above the piston exerts a
force of 60 N on the piston. If the atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa, determine the pressure inside
the cylinder..
Problem 3: Freshwater and seawater flowing in parallel horizontal pipelines are connected to
each other by a double U-tube manometer, as shown in Fig. Determine the pressure difference
between the two pipelines. Take the density of seawater at that location to be r = 1035 kg/m3.
Can the air column be ignored in the analysis?
Problem 4: The gage pressure of the air in the tank shown in Fig. is measured to be 65 kPa.
Determine the differential height h of the mercury column
Problem 5: Consider a double-fluid manometer attached to an air pipe shown in Fig. If the
specific gravity of one fluid is 13.55, determine the specific gravity of the other fluid for the
indicated absolute pressure of air. Take the atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa.
Problem 6: The closed tank of Fig. is filled with water and is 5 ft long. The pressure gage on the
tank reads 7 psi. Determine: (a) the height, h, in the open water column, (b) the gage pressure
acting on the bottom tank surface AB, and (c) the absolute pressure of the air in the top of the
tank if the local atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psia.
Problem 7: A U-tube manometer is connected to a closed tank as shown in Fig.. The air
pressure in the tank is 0.50 psi and the liquid in the tank is oil ( = 54.0 lb/ft3). The pressure at
point A is 2.00 psi. Determine: (a) the depth of oil, z, and (b) the differential reading, h, on the
manometer.
Problem 8: For the inclined-tube manometer of Fig., 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?
Problem 10: The inverted U-tube manometer of Fig. contains oil (SG = 0.9) and water as
shown. The pressure differential between pipes A and B, pA pB, is 5 kPa. Determine the
differential reading h.
Problem 9: In Fig. pipe A contains gasoline (SG = 0.7), pipe B contains oil (SG = 0.9), and the
manometer fluid is mercury. Determine the new differential reading if the pressure in pipe A is
decreased 25 kPa, and the pressure in pipe B remains constant. The initial differential reading is
0.30 m as shown.
