A closed cylindrical tank filled with water has a hemispherical dome and is connected to an inverted piping system as shown in Fig. P2.39. The liquid in the top part of the piping system has a specific gravity of 0.8, and the remaining parts of the system are filled with water. If the pressure gage reading at \(A\) is \(60 \mathrm{kPa}\), determine

(a) the pressure in pipe \(B\), 

(b) the pressure head, in millimeters of mercury, at the top of the dome (point \(C\) ).
