The actual pressure at a given position is called as-

  • A.Absolute Pressure
  • B.Gauge Pressure
  • C.Atmospheric Pressure
  • D.Vacuum Pressure

Answer: A

The actual pressure is called absolute pressure.

Absolute pressure is measured from a perfect vacuum (zero pressure), so it is the true pressure at the point. Gauge pressure is measured relative to the local atmosphere: absolute = gauge + atmospheric.

Atmospheric pressure is just the pressure of the surrounding air, and vacuum pressure is the amount by which a pressure falls short of atmospheric. Neither is the actual pressure at an arbitrary position.
