A closed manometer is connected to a tank as shown above. The pressure, P 2 , at the top of the manometer is 2 psig.

A closed manometer is connected to a tank as shown above. The pressure, P2, at the top of the manometer is 2 psig.
Given:
The manometer fluid (shown yellow) has a specific gravity of 12.6
The tank fluid (shown blue) has a specific gravity of 0.85
The density of water is 62.4lbmft3
The section heights are: L2=10.5ft;L3=13.5ft;L1=18.5ft
The weight of any gas in either the tank or manometer tube can be neglected
What is the pressure, P1, at the top of the tank, psig?
What is the pressure at the bottom of the tank, psig (this is at the bottom of section L2)?
What is the pressure at the bottom of the manometer, psig (this is at the bottom of section L1)?
What is the pressure at the bottom of section L3, psig ?
