Question:
A 1-ft-diameter, 2-ft-long cylinder floats in an open tank containing a liquid having a specific weight \(\gamma\). A U-tube manometer is connected to the tank as shown in Fig. P2.142. When the pressure in pipe \(A\) is 0.1 psi below atmospheric pressure, the various fluid levels are as shown. Determine the weight of the cylinder. Note that the top of the cylinder is flush with the fluid surface.
