1.

A solvent storage tank contains liquid styrene (sp. gr. 0.909).

A pressure .=134000 Pa is measured at the base of the tank and a pressure = 100000 Pa at a height H.

Determine the level of the liquid styrene H (m).

Insert the liquid density [kg/m3]

2.

A solvent storage tank contains liquid hexane (sp. gr. 0.659).

If the the liquid height in the tank is H = 4000 mm and = 114000 Pa

What will be the value of the bottom pressure ?
