Answer #1

Absolute pressure is the sum of atmospheric pressure and gauge pressure.

Now,

Atmospheric pressure = 770 mm of Hg

= 0.770 *13600*9.81

= 102.7303 kPa

Gauge pressure = 1.2 N/mm2..(Given)

= 1.2 MPa

= 1200 kPa

Where,

13600 kg/cu. m is the density of mercury .

Now,

Absolute pressure = 1200+102.7303

= 1302.7303 kPa

= 1302730.3 N/m2

= 13.0273 bar.
