 The pressure less than atmospheric pressure is known as

  1. water pressure
  2. absolute pressure 
  3. gauge pressure 
  4. vacuum pressure 

Answer: 4– vacuum pressure

The pressure less than atmospheric pressure is known as vacuum pressure.

Explanation:

  • Absolute pressure- The pressure difference is known as absolute pressure when absolute zero is chosen as the datum.
  • Gauge pressure– The gauge pressure is the pressure that exists when the pressure is greater than the atmospheric pressure.
  • Vacuum pressure-The vacuum pressure is the pressure that exists when the pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure.

The relationship between the pressures is given by,

Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gauge pressure

Pabs=Patm+Pgauge

Vacuum pressure = Atmospheric pressure – Absolute pressure

Pvac=Patm-Pabs
