A pressure gauge on a welder's tank gives a reading of barometric pressure is 28.6 in Hg. Calculate the absolute pressure in the tank in 1. Ib/ft 2. in Hg 8

Hey there!:

1 in. Hg = 0.4911 psi

=> Absolute pressure in psi = 22.4 + 28.6 x 0.4911 = 36.445 psi

a) 1 psi = 144 lb/ft²

36.445 psi = 5248.15 lb/ft²

b) 1 psi = 2.036 in. Hg

36.445 psi = 74.21 in. Hg

Hope this helps!
