Question 1.
What is gauge pressure?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how it differs from absolute pressure.
Question 2.
What does a barometer measure?
Show hintHide hint
Remember, it uses mercury as a standard.
3Question 3.
What does gauge pressure exclude from its calculations?
- Atmospheric pressure
- Total pressure
- Fluid density
Show hintHide hint
Focus on what gauge means.
4Question 4.
True or False: A barometer can measure both gauge and absolute pressure.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember the function of a barometer.
Question 5.
You have a water distribution system with fluctuating pressures. If the pressure at one point is 600 kPa and another is 200 kPa, calculate the height difference in a manometer where water is used.
Show hintHide hint
Determine the density and remember to convert kPa to Pa.
Question 6.
In a lab, a gas is stored at 500 kPa at room temperature. If a new ideal gas at 1000 kPa is introduced, use the ideal gas law to find out how they interact at constant volume.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on keeping volume constant and explore pressure changes.
