Activity No. 2-M

This document contains 6 hydraulic problems involving pressure, fluid properties, and manometers. Problem 1 asks about pressure below an oil surface in a closed tank. Problem 2 asks about determining the specific weight of a liquid using pressure readings from two gauges. Problem 3 asks about determining the specific gravity of olive oil using pressure readings and fluid heights in a tank. Problems 4-6 involve additional hydraulic concepts like force on a piston, fluid heights in a closed tank, and pressure differences measured by a differential manometer.

HYDRAULICS

Solve the following problems:

1. If the pressure in the air space above an oil (s=0.75) surface in a closed tank is 115 KPa
absolute, what is the gage pressure 2 m below the surface? (10 points)
2. A pressure gage 6 m above the bottom of the tank containing a liquid reads 90 KPa. Another
gage height 4 m reads 103 KPa. Determine the specific weight of the liquid. (10 points)
3. In the figure shown, if the atmospheric pressure is 101.03 KPa and the absolute pressure at
the bottom of the tank is 231.3 KPa, what is the specific gravity of olive oil? (20 points)
4. In the figure shown, determine the weight W that can be carried by the 1.5 KN force acting
on the piston. (20 points)
5. A closed cylindrical tank contains 2 m of water, 3 m of oil (s=0.82) and the air above oil has a
pressure of 30 KPa. If an open mercury manometer at the bottom of the tank has 1 m of
water, determine the deflection of mercury. (20 points)
6. A differential manometer is attached to a pipe as shown. Calculate the pressure difference
between points A and B. (20 points)
