A closed tank contains 0.5 m thick layer of mercury (specific gravity = 13.6) at the bottom. A 2.0 m thick layer of water lies above the mercury layer. A 3.0 m thick layer of oil (specific gravity = 0.6) lies above the water layer. The space above the oil layer contains air under pressure. The gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank is 196.2 kN/m
. The density of water is 1000 kg/m
and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s
. The value of pressure in the air space isYour answerChoose one option.
