There is water at a height of \(1 \mathrm{~m}\) in the tube open to the atmosphere \(\left(P_{\mathrm{atm}}=100 \mathrm{kPa}\right)\) connected to a tank with two sections.

(a) Find the pressure readings \((\mathrm{kPa})\) in Bourdon Type Manometer for the air in the \(A\) and \(B\) sections of the tank.

(b) Find the absolute pressures \((\mathrm{kPa})\) for the air in the \(A\) and \(B\) sections of the tank. Water density is \(1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\) and \(g=9.79 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\).
