its specific weight and specific gravity.

2. The barometric pressure at sea level is 30 in H g, while that on a top of

a mountain top is 28 in Hg. If specific weight of air is assumed constant at
0.075 Ib/ft3, calculate the elevation on the mountain top.

3. A bourdon gauge is connected to a tank in which the pressure is 35 Psi
