Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction:
In this question we have been asked to find the change in the gauge pressure when the compressed gas tank is taken from the sea level to Mount Everest.
As we move up the sea level the atmospheric pressure decreases. This is because the density of air decreases as we move upwards.
