Two tanks contain the same height of liquid A (specific gravity 0.85) 2 m high in one tank and liquid B (specific gravity 0.92) 3 m in the other. What is the pressure difference at the bottom of both tanks?
💡 Hint: Don't forget to compare the results once calculated.
A manometer reads oil (SG=0.82) above water (2 m of oil and 4 m of water). Calculate the pressure difference and classify if it is a positive or negative difference.
💡 Hint: Check if the values indicate a higher oil pressure or lower water pressure!
