Question: 4 . ) At Point A , water is flowing through a pressurized pipe ( the direction of flow is into the page ) .

4.) At Point A, water is flowing through a pressurized pipe (the direction of flow is into
the page). A manometer is connected to the pipe to measure the pressure, as
shown below. Atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa absolute, but this manometer is
not open to the atmosphere. Instead, it is connected to a tank of mercury, and we
know the gage pressure at the top surface of the mercury in the tank (Point C) is
10 kPa . The manometer also contains a volume of air in between the water and
mercury, as shown. Assume the density of water is 1,000kgm3, and the density
of mercury is 13,500kgm3. The entire system is at a temperature of 28C.
a.(10 points) Find the density of the air in the manometer at Point B, in kgm3.
Hint: The pressure of the air inside the manometer is not equal to
atmospheric pressure, and the air's density is not the same as the standard
value at sea level shown on your equation sheet. You will need to find the
density a different way, based on the information you know or can calculate
from the problem. Assume the air behaves as an ideal gas.
