Name:

A rectangular tank, open to the atmosphere, is filled with water to a depth of $2\mathrm{.}5$ m as shown. A U$-$fube manometer is connected to the tank at a location $0\mathrm{.}7$ m above the tank bottom. If the zero level of the Meriam blue manometer fluid is $0\mathrm{.}2$ m below the connection, determine the deflection I after the manometer is connected and all air has been removed from the connecting leg.

The manometer fluid is replaced with mercury $($same zero level$).$ The tank is sealed and the air pressure is increased to a gage pressure of $0\mathrm{.}5$ atm $.$ Determine the deflection $\text{'}1\text{'}.$
