What I did was I added the gauge pressure and the athmospheric pressure and then subtracted the vapor pressure to get 59.34 kN/m^3. is that right?

Are you sure it's water vapor pressure or could it be the vapor pressure of the mercury?

Hey, here's the question: "If a gauge reads -295mmHg where athmospheric pressure is 101.7 kn/m^2 and the vapor pressure is 2.8 kN/m^2, what is the absolute pressure?" I converted the gauge pressure to 39.36 kN/m^2 but where do i go from here? I know the equation is p_gauge= p_absolute -...
