Answer:

[tex]P_a=17.85psi[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Tank Pressure [tex]P_t=30.0kpa[/tex]

Atmospheric Pressure [tex]P_a=13.5 psi[/tex]

Where

 [tex]1kpa=0.148psi[/tex]

Therefore

 [tex]30kpa=4.35psi[/tex]

Generally the equation for Absolute pressure [tex]P_a[/tex] is mathematically given by

 [tex]P_a=13.5+4.35[/tex]

 [tex]P_a=17.85psi[/tex]
