Questions and Answers

What is gauge pressure?

  • The atmospheric pressure at a given location
  • The total pressure measured by a gauge
  • The excess pressure over atmospheric pressure (correct)
  • The pressure exerted by a gauge

Study Notes

Pressure Concepts

  • Gauge pressure is the difference between the absolute pressure and the atmospheric pressure.
  • At a depth of 10 m in water, the gauge pressure is 1 atm, which means the absolute pressure is 1 atm + atmospheric pressure.
  • The value of atmospheric pressure is 1 atm (standard atmospheric pressure).
  • Negative pressure is a pressure below atmospheric pressure, creating a partial vacuum.
  • An example of negative pressure is the pressure inside a drinking straw when you suck on it, which is less than atmospheric pressure.
