Explanation:

Step1

Absolute pressure is the pressure above zero level of the pressure. Absolute pressure is considering atmospheric pressure in it. Absolute pressure is always positive. There is no negative absolute pressure.

The expression for absolute pressure is given as follows:

$P_{ab}=P_{g}+P_{atm}$

Here, $P_{ab}$ is absolute pressure, $P_{g}$ is gauge pressure and $P_{atm}$ is atmospheric pressure.

Step2

Gauge pressure is the pressure that measure above atmospheric pressure. It is not considering atmospheric pressure. It can be negative called vacuum or negative gauge pressure. Gauge pressure used to simplify the pressure equation for fluid analysis.

Answer:

(i) 3.5385 ohm, 3.768 ohm (ii) 39.89 A (III) 4773.857 W (vi) 348 var (vii) 0.9973 (viii) 4.1796°

Explanation:

We have given voltage V =120 volt

Frequency f=60 Hz

Resistance R =3 ohm

Inductance L =0.01 H

Capacitance C =0.00075 farad
