Answer:
The convex lens is shaped so that all light rays that enter it parallel to its axis cross one another at a single point on the opposite side of the lens.
Explanation:
Specific Gravity of the fluid = 1.25
Height h = 28 in
Atmospheric Pressure = 12.7 psia
Density of water = 62.4 lbm/ft^3 at 32F
Density of the Fluid = Specific Gravity of the fluid x Density of water = 1.25 x 62.4
Density of the Fluid p = 78 lbm/ft^3
Difference in pressure as we got the differential height, dP = p x g x h dP = (78 lbm/ft^3) x (32.174 ft/s^2) x (28/12 ft) [ 1 lbf / 32.174 ft/s^2] [1 ft^2 /
144in^2]
Difference in pressure = 1.26 psia
(a) Pressure in the arm that is at Higher
P = Atmospheric Pressure - Pressure difference = 12.7 - 1.26 = 11.44 psia
(b) Pressure in the tank that is at Lower
P = Atmospheric Pressure + Pressure difference = 12.7 + 1.26 = 13.96psia
