GENERAL INSTRUCTION. Same way of sending answers. Attach your solution. No need to
write your solution in a formatted bond paper.

I. PRESSURE

1. Find the pressure at the bottom of the closed tank containing glycerin as shown in
figure 1.
2. A pressure gage 7.0 m above the bottom of a tank containing liquid reads 68.70 kPa;
another gage at height 4.0 m reads 92.41 kPa. Compute the:
a. specific weight of the liquid
b. mass density of the liquid
3. In Fig. 2, if the atmospheric pressure is 101.03 kPa and the absolute pressure at the
bottom of the tank is 231.3, what is the specific gravity of olive oil?
4. For the tank shown in Fig. 3, determine the value of h.
5. Determine the value of h in the manometer shown in Fig. 4.
