Question:
A. An air compressor fills a tank to a gage pressure of 132 psi. The barometric pressure is 755 millimeters of mercury. What is the absolute pressure in the tank in kPa?
B. The air in the tank is bled out through a valve, the valve is closed, and the tank and its contents sit out overnight. The temperature drops, while the barometric pressure increases to 762 millimeters of mercury. A vacuum gage Pgage Tank on the tank in the morning reads 0.7 inches of mercury. What is the absolute pressure in the tank in kPa?

I have recently received the degree of PhD. In Physics by the Universidade Federal do Maranhão after spending a term in Durham University, as I have been awarded a scholarship from a Brazilian mobility program. During my PhD. I have performed research mainly in Theoretical Physics and published works in distinguished Journals (check my ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4324-1184).
During my BSc. I have been awarded a scholarship to study for a year in the University of Evansville, where I have worked in detection-analysis of photon correlations in the the Photonics Laboratory. There I was a tutor in Electromagnetism, Classical Mechanics and Calculus for most of that year (2012).
I am very dedicated, honest and a fast learner, but most of all, I value a job well done.
