Determine deflection of mercury column and gage pressure


A tank contains a gas at an absolute pressure of 104.0 kPa. The pressure in the tank is measured using a mercury (p=13.59 g/cm^3) U-tube manometer. One leg of the manometer is open to the atmosphere (p=101.325 kPa). Determine the following: i) The deflection (cm) of the mercury column ii) The gage pressure (kPa) in the tank.
