What will be the length of mercury column in a barometer tube when the atmospheric pressure is `75 cm` of mercury and the tube is inclined at an angle of `60^@` with the horizontal direction?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
86.6 cm
`l =h//sin60^@ = 75//(sqrt3//2) = 75xx2//sqrt3` = 86.6 cm

A thin tube of uniform cross-section is sealed at both ends. It lies horizontally, the middle 5 cm containing mercury and the two equal end containing air at the same pressure P. When the tube is held at an angle of 60^@ with the vetical direction, the length of the air column above and below the mercury column are 46 cm and 44.5 cm respectively. Calculate the pressure P in centimeters of mercury. (The temperature of the system is kept at 30^@C ).
