What is the gauge pressure if the absolute pressure is 321 atm?
What is (321-1)atm?
To find the gauge pressure, you need to subtract the atmospheric pressure from the absolute pressure. Gauge pressure measures the pressure above atmospheric pressure.
To determine the gauge pressure, you first need to know the atmospheric pressure at the location you're referring to. Let's suppose the atmospheric pressure at that location is 1 atm.
To calculate the gauge pressure, subtract the atmospheric pressure from the absolute pressure:
Gauge pressure = Absolute pressure - Atmospheric pressure
Given:
Absolute pressure = 321 atm
Atmospheric pressure = 1 atm
Gauge pressure = 321 atm - 1 atm = 320 atm
Therefore, the gauge pressure would be 320 atm.
