    They will need 200kg of pine logs.

    Gauge pressure in the tank = 24045.29 Pa

    Absolute pressure = 125370.29Pa

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Full question:sp. gr=0.8. The fluid in the nanometer is ethyl iodide with sp. gr = 1.93. The manometric fluid height is 50 inches. What is the gauge pressure and absolute pressure in the tank?

    Converting 50inches to metres. Multiply by 0.0254

    50*0.0254=1.27m

    Gauge pressure in tank is given by:

    P = pgh

    Where p = density, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height

    P = 1.93 * 1000 * 9.81 * 1.27 = 24045.29Pa

    Absolute pressure=Ptotal = Pliquid + Patm

    Absolute pressure = 24045.29 + 101325=125370.29pa
