Answer: the absolute static pressure in the gas cylinder is 82.23596 kPa
Explanation:
Given that;
patm = 79 kPa, h = 13 in of H₂O,
A sketch of the problem is uploaded along this answer.
Now
pA = patm + 13 in of H₂O ( h × density × g )
pA= 79 + (13 × 0.0254 × 9.8 × 1000/1000)
pA = 82.23596 kPa
the absolute static pressure in the gas cylinder is 82.23596 kPa
