Question: A closed cylindrical tank filled with water has a hemispherical dome and is connected to an inverted piping system as shown in Fig 1 .

A closed cylindrical tank filled with water has a hemispherical dome and is
connected to an inverted piping system as shown in Fig 1. 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 gauge
reading at A is 60kPa, determine: (a) the
pressure in pipe B, and (b) the pressure
head, in millimeters of mercury, at the top of
the dome (point C).
Figure 1. A closed cylindrical tank filled
