when the barometer reads 30 in. (762 mm) of mercury what absolute pressure corresponds to a vacuum of 12 in. (305 mm) of mercury
Added by Jeffrey D.
Step 1
A barometer reading of 30 inches of mercury (in. Hg) indicates the atmospheric pressure at that location. This is equivalent to 30 in. Hg of absolute pressure. Show more…

The standard atmospheric pressure is 760 mm of mercury. At a certain location, the barometer reads 710 mm of mercury. At this place, an absolute pressure of 360 mm of mercury corresponds to a gauge pressure in mm of mercury: a) 400 mm of vacuum b) 350 mm of vacuum c) 360 mm of vacuum d) 710 mm
