P (abs) = 48 KPa

Explanation:

Given that

Vacuum gauge pressure = 44 KPa

We know that Vacuum gauge pressure is also known as negative gauge pressure.

P (gauge) = - 44 KPa

Atmospheric pressure = 92 KPa

P (atm) = 92 KPa

We know that absolute pressure given as

Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gauge pressure

Now by putting the values in the above equation

P (abs) = 92 - 44 KPa

P (abs) = 48 KPa

Therefore the absolute pressure in the chamber will be 48 kPa
