1–66 Consider a 1.8-m-tall man standing vertically in water
and completely submerged in a pool. Determine the differ-
ence between the pressures acting at the head and at the toes
of this man, in kPa.
1–67 Consider a U-tube whose arms are open to the atmo-
sphere. Now water is poured into the U-tube from one arm,
and light oil (r790 kg/m^3 ) from the other. One arm con-
tains 70-cm-high water, while the other arm contains both
fluids with an oil-to-water height ratio of 4. Determine the
height of each fluid in that arm.
1–72E Repeat Prob. 1–71E by replacing air by oil with a
specific gravity of 0.69.
1–73 The gage pressure of the air in the tank shown in Fig.
P1–73 is measured to be 80 kPa. Determine the differential
height hof the mercury column.

1–68 The hydraulic lift in a car repair shop has an output
diameter of 30 cm and is to lift cars up to 2000 kg. Deter-
mine the fluid gage pressure that must be maintained in the
reservoir.
1–69 Freshwater and seawater flowing in parallel horizontal
pipelines are connected to each other by a double U-tube
manometer, as shown in Fig. P1–69. Determine the pressure
difference between the two pipelines. Take the density of sea-
water at that location to be r1035 kg/m^3. Can the air col-
umn be ignored in the analysis?

1–71E The pressure in a natural gas pipeline is measured by
the manometer shown in Fig. P1–71E with one of the arms
open to the atmosphere where the local atmospheric pressure
is 14.2 psia. Determine the absolute pressure in the pipeline.
