A storage tank contains molasses a pressure gauge at the


1. Assume the local atmospheric pressure is 28.98 in of Hg. A gauge shows a vacuum of 780 mm of Hg. Is this possible? Explain your answer and show supporting calclulations.

2. A storage tank contains molasses. A pressure gauge at the bottom reads 41.0 psig. If the specific gravity of the cane molasses is 1.41, what is the depth (m) of molasses in the tank?

Please show the answers in terms of dimensional/factor analysis with all the units.
