Journal:

 The surface of the water in a tank is 30m above the faucet in the kitchen. What are the:

a. Absolute pressure

b. Gauge pressure

 

 

 

 

 

 

a.  PAbsolute = rgh + Patm

    PAbsolute = (1000)(10)(30)+ 101,300 = 401,300 Pa

 

b.  Pg = PAbsolute -  Patm

               =   401,300  - 101,300

                Pg = 300,000 P
