QUESTION:

Figure P1.37 shows a tank within a tank, each containing air. The absolute pressure in tank A is \(267.7 \mathrm{kPa}\). Pressure gage A is located inside tank B and reads \(140 \mathrm{kPa}\). The U Tube manometer connected to tank B contains mercury. Using data on the diagram, determine the absolute pressure inside tank B, in kPa, and the column length L, in cm. The atmospheric pressure surrounding tank B is \(101 \mathrm{kPa}\). The acceleration of gravity is \(g=9.81 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\).
