Figure P1-37 shows a tank within a tank, each containing air. The absolute pressure ion tank A is 267.7 kPa. Pressure gage A is located inside tank B and reads 140 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 kPa. The acceleration of gravity is g= 9.81 m/s2.
