3. The reading of an automobile gage is proportional to the gage pressure at the bottom of the
tank as shown. The tank is 32 cm deep. Unit weight of gasoline is 6670 N/m³ and that of air is
11.8 N/m³. Unit weight of water is 9790 N/m³.
Vent
Air
Gasoline
Water
a. Determine the gage reading when the tank is full of gasoline.
b. How many cm of air remains at the top when the gage indicates full and the tank is
contaminated with 3 cm of water?
c. Determine the pressure at the interface of the gasoline and water when the gage indicates full.
