Both a gage and a manometer are attached to a gas tank to measure its pressure. if the reading on the pressure gage is 130 kpa, determine the distance between the two fluid levels of the manometer if the fluid is:
(a) mercury with density 13,600 kg/m^3 or
(b) water with density 1000 kg/m^3

a) 0.975 m

b) 13.25 m

Explanation:

given data:

pressure gage reading 130 kPa

a) mercury with density 13,600 kg/m^3

let distance between two fluid level is h,

then

we know that

13600*9.8*h=130*10^3

so h = 0.975 m

b.) water with density 1000 kg/m^3

let distance  between two fluid level  is h,

then

we know that

1000*9.8*h= 130*10^3

so h= 13.25 m

how is this a question? in order for me to answer it i have to understand the question
