A mercury barometer reads `75cm` in vertical position . If the tube is inclined by `60^(@)` to the vertical, the length of the mercury in the tube will be

A

37.5 cm

B

75cm

C

112.5cm

D

150cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`cos 60^(@) = h/l`

or, `l = (h)/(cos 60^(@)) = (75)/(1//2) cm = 150cm`.
The vertical height of mercury level in a barometer does not change.
