Answer to Problem 1P

Option (e)

Explanation of Solution

Given:Gauge pressure is doubled.

Formula Used:

Gauge pressure:

  PGauge=PAbsolutePAtmospheric

Conclusion:

  PGauge=PAbsolutePAtmosphericPAbsolute=PGauge+PAtmospheric

The initial absolute pressure is given by

  Pi=P+Patm

Where P is the initial gauge pressure.

The final absolute pressure is given by

  Pf=2P+Patm

Now dividing the above equations:

  PfPi=2P+PatmP+PatmPfPi=1+PP+PatmPP+Patm<1PfPi=1+PP+PatmPfPi<1+1=2PfPi<2Pf<2Pi

Therefore, the final absolute pressure will be increased by a factor less than 2.
