2. (25 pts) The air pressure in the atmosphere is measured at 100 kPa, and pressure gauges A and B show readings of 25 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). Calculate the absolute pressure within containers A and B in the following units: (a) pounds per square inch absolute (psia); (b) inches of mercury absolute (in. Hg absolute). B B A A
