A Bourdon gage A inside a pressure tank reads 20 kPa. Another Bourdon gage B outside the pressure tank and connected to it reads 40 kPa and an Aneroid barometer reads the atmospheric pressure as 700 mm Hg. What is the absolute pressure in the inner tank measured by A in kPa? The density of mercury is 13600 kg/m.
