Waste cooking oil is to be stored for processing by pouring it into tank A, which is connected by a manometer to tank B. The manometer is completely filled with water. Measurements indicate that the material of tank B will fail and the tank will burst if the air pressure in tank B exceeds 18 kPa. To what height h can waste oil be poured into tank A? If air is accidentally trapped in the manometer line, what will be the error in the calculation of the height?

KINDLY NOTE that there is a picture in the question. Check the picture below for the picture.

==================================

(1). 1.2 metres.

(2). There is going to be the same pressure.

Explanation:

From the question above we can take hold of the statement Below because it is going to assist or help us in solving this particular Question or problem;

" Measurements indicate that the material of tank B will fail and the tank will burst if the air pressure in tank B exceeds 18 kPa."

=> Also, the density of oil = 930

That is if Pressure, P in B > 18kpa there will surely be a burst.

The height, h the can waste oil be poured into tank A is;

The maximum pressure  = height × acceleration due to gravity × density) + ( acceleration due to gravity × density × height, j).

18 × 10^3 = (height, h ×  10 × 930) + 10 × (2 - 1.25) × 1000.

When we make height, h the Subject of the formula then;

Approximately, Height, h = 1.2 metres.

(2). If air is accidentally trapped in the manometer line, what will be the error in the calculation of the height we will have the same pressure.

this is true
