TE 303 - HW #1, P7 - Absolute and gauge Pressures - 15 pts


Tank A lies inside of Tank B, as shown in the figure. Pressure gauge A is located inside Tank B and reads 1.4 bar. Both tanks contain air. The manometer connected to Tank B contains mercury (r = 13.59 g/cm3). The manometer reading is h = 20 cm, atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa and g = 9.81 m/s2. Determine the absolute pressures inside Tank A and Tank B in kPa.
