As shown in Fig.P1.46, an inclined manometer is used to measure the pressure of the gas within the reservoir.
(a) Using data on the figure, determine the gas pressure, in lbf/in.2
(b) Express the pressure as a gage or a vacuum pressure, as appropriate, in lbf/in.2.
(c) What advantage does inclined manometer have over the U-tube manometer shown in Fig 1.7?
