The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multi-

fluid manometer as shown in Fig. above. The tank is located on a mountain at an


altitude of 1400 m where the atmospheric pressure is 85.6 kPa. Determine the air
pressure in the tank if h1 = 0.1 m, h2 = 0.2 m, and h3 = 0.35 m. Take the densities of
water, oil, and mercury to be 1000 kg/m3, 850 kg/m3, and 13,600 kg/m3,
respectively.

8. Consider the steady, two-dimensional, incompressible velocity field, 𝑉⃗ = (𝑢, 𝑣) = (𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏)𝑖 +
(2𝑎𝑦 + 𝑐) 𝑗 , where a, b, and c are constants. Calculate the pressure as a function of x and y.
7. In fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe, the velocity at R/2 (midway between the wall
surface and the centerline) is measured to be 11 m/s. Determine the velocity at the center of the pipe.
