Question:

A dead-weight gauge with a piston diameter of 1 cm is used for the accurate measurement of pressure. If a mass of 6.14 kg (including piston and pan) brings it into balance, and if g = 9.82 m·s−2, what is the gauge pressure being measured? For a barometric pressure of 0.997 bar, what is the absolute pressure?
