A U-tube manometer is connected to a closed tank containing air and water as shown below. At the closed end of the manometer the air pressure is 16 psia. Determine the reading on the pressure gage for a differential reading of 6 ft on the manometer. Express the answer in psi (gage). Assume standard atmospheric pressure and neglect the weight of the air column in the manometer. -Closed valve -Air pressure = 16 psia 6 ft Air ? 3 ft 1-1 Water Gege fluid (y = 90 16/11) Pressure gage
