QUESTION:

Figure P1.33 shows a storage tank holding natural gas. In an adjacent instrument room, a U-tube mercury manometer in communication with the storage tank reads L=1.0 m. If the atmospheric pressure is \(101 \mathrm{kPa}\), the density of the mercury is \(13.59 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^3\), and \(g=9.81 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\), determine the pressure of the natural gas, in kPa.
