Answer:
(a) P = 103064 Pa = 103.064 KPa
(b) P = 102476 Pa = 102.476 KPa
Explanation:
(a)
First we need to find the gauge pressure:
Gauge Pressure = Pg = (density)(g)(h)
Pg = (1200 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)(0.15 m)
Pg = 1764 Pa
So, the absolute Pressure is:
Absolute Pressure = P = Atmospheric Pressure + Pg
P = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa + 1764 Pa
P = 103064 Pa = 103.064 KPa
(b)
First we need to find the gauge pressure:
Gauge Pressure = Pg = (density)(g)(h)
Pg = (1200 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)(0.1 m)
Pg = 1176 Pa
So, the absolute Pressure is:
Absolute Pressure = P = Atmospheric Pressure + Pg
P = 1.013 x 10⁵ Pa + 1176 Pa
P = 102476 Pa = 102.476 KPa
