    The document is a physics problem about calculating absolute pressure in a tank given the vacuum gauge reading and atmospheric pressure. It states that the tank has a vacuum gauge reading of 20 kPa and the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. It then shows that the absolute pressure in the tank can be calculated by taking the atmospheric pressure and subtracting the vacuum gauge reading, which equals 80 kPa.

    Problem 2.25

    A tank has a vacuum gage attached to ie indicating 20 kPa (vacuum). where the
    atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Determine the absolute pressure in the tank.

    Given: Tank vacuum gage reading and atmospheric pressure.

    Find: Tank absolute pressure.
