A closed tank contains a 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/m2.
The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s2.
The value of pressure in the air space is _______.
