Chapter 2, Problem 2.144(choose chapter or problem)
The thin-walled, 1-m-diameter tank of Fig. P2.144 is closed at one end and has a mass of 90 kg. The open end of the tank is lowered into the water and held in the position shown by a steel block having a density of \(7840~ \mathrm{kg/m^3}\). Assume that the air that is trapped in the tank is compressed at a constant temperature. Determine: (a) the reading on the pressure gage at the top of the tank, and (b) the volume of the steel block.
