Hydraulics is a branch of science and engineering concerned with the
mechanical properties of?Ans: Liquids! Pneumatic refers to gas fyi
A mechanical gauge is used when measuring gas pressure in a sealed
container. For all common pressure gauges, the pressure indicated on
the gauge is?Ans: Less than the absolute pressure (Gauges (and gauge
pressures) ignore the ambient (barometric) pressure around us.
Absolute pressure can be defined as?Ans: The amount of pressure within
the sealed vessel + the amount of pressure outside the sealed vessel.

Boyle's law is about the?Ans: Pressure-volume relationship. Boyle's law
says that with temperature constant, the volume of a gas is inversely
proportional to the pressure.
According to Boyle's Law, (assuming the temperature remains constant)
when the pressure increases, the volume?Ans: Decreases proportionally
When applying Boyle's law to the human body, we worry about air-filled
spaces being shrunk ( or squeezed) when pressure around the body
increases. This is known as?Ans: Barotrauma
Boyle's law equation?Ans: P1 x V1=P2 xV2
Charles law is about the?Ans: Temperature-volume relationship, With
pressure constant, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the
temperature.
