The pressure gauge shown in Figure 9.1 has a spring for which k=60 N/m and the area of the piston is 0.50 cm2. Its right end is connected to a closed container of gas at a gauge pressure of 30 kPa. Atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. How far will the spring be compressed if the region containing the spring is (a) in a vacuum and (b) open to the atmosphere?
