A steel cylinder at sea level contains air at a high pressure. Attached to the tank are two gauges, one that reads absolute pressure and one that readsgauge pressure. The tank is then brought to the top of a mountain. For each of the two gauges, does the pressure reading decrease, increase, or remain the same? Does the difference between the two readings decrease, increase, or remain the same? Explain.
