Paint is being stored in a tank which is having 5 feet in diameter. The solids content is 30% and having the density of 1.2 gm/cm3. The liquid level of the paint is 4.75 ft and the water has a density of 1.0 gm/cm3. The space above the liquid which is pressurized with an inert gas kept at 40 psig.
1. Calculate the absolute and the gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank in atm, psi, and kPa?
2. Calculate the gauge pressure at one foot above the bottom of tank in atm, psi, and kPa?
