gage pressure

Problem
A barometer reads 760 mm Hg and a pressure gage attached to a tank of oil (s = 0.8) reads 850 cm. What is the absolute pressure in the tank in kilogram per square centimeter?

A.   1.71 C.   0.32
B.   2.54 D.   3.21

 

Problem
Determine the absolute pressure at 250 cm below the free surface of oil (specific gravity = 0.80) if the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa.

A.   136.25 kPa C.   120.62 kPa
B.   125.42 kPa D.   134.54 kPa
