    Calculating pressure within a system at a specific location?

    Sorry, I do not understand what you mean by whether the water surface is above or below point B? I cannot get my head around this, could you perhaps provide more guidance? I'd really appreciate it.

    Calculating pressure within a system at a specific location?

    Sorry for not making it clear, the attached image is the solution to the problem and my attempt was a first attempt. Also, I translated the pressure from one column to the other because at the same elevations the pressure remains constant?

    Calculating pressure within a system at a specific location?

    Thank you for the speedy response. The pressure at C should be lower as it is at a higher elevation. However, in the provided solution it quotes a value of pressure higher than that of point B. I am probably missing a point but I do not seem to understand how the pressure is higher at C.

    Calculating pressure within a system at a specific location?

    Homework Statement Solution: Homework Equations dp/dz = -ρh Pressure varies linearly with the depth. The Attempt at a Solution Firstly, I have calculated the pressure at point B. PB = PA - (0.3m)*(1000kg/m^3)*(9.81m/s^2) PB = 88057 Pa Calculating the pressure at point C. However, my...
