A cylindrical vessel is filled with equal amounts by weight of water and mercury.The overall height of the two layers is 29.2. Determine the pressure of the liquid at the bottom ? density of hg= 13.6....
i found out the height of the water column is 27.2 and the mercury column is 2 cm....
isn't the pressure at the bottom of the vessel = atmospheric pressure + gauge pressure...
how to go about now??
[ans to the problem is 4cm of hg]

62Answer will be 2+27.2/13.6
there will be no atmospheric pressure because the vessel is closed
Had it been open from the top.. there will be atmostpheric pressure too.
