8. What will be the pressure at the top of a mountain where atmospheric pressure is 0.7 bar and the absolute pressure is 0.5 bar?
- 1.2 bar
- 0.5 bar
- 0.2 bar
- 0.7 bar
Answer: A) 1.2 bar
Explanation:
The absolute pressure at the top of the mountain is the sum of atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to altitude. Therefore, Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Pressure due to altitude = 0.7 bar + 0.5 bar = 1.2 bar.
