A barometer is constructed with its tube having radius 1.0 mm. Assume that the surface of mercury in the tube is spherical in shape. If the atmospheric pressure is equal to 76 cm of mercury, what will be the height raised in the barometer tube? The contact angle of mercury with glass 135^@ and surface tension of mercury =0.465Nm^-1 . Density of mercury =13600kgm^-3 .

In a mercury barometer, at sea level, the normal pressure of the air (one atmosphere) acting on the mercury in the dish supports a 76 cm column of mercury in a closed tube. If you go up in the air, until the density has fallen to half its sea level value, what height of mercury column would you expect?

In the given figure, atmospheric pressure p_0 = 1 atm and mercury column length is 9 cm. Pressure p of the gas enclosed in the tube is

Height of mercury in a barometer is h_0 = 76. 0 cm at a temperature of theta_1 = 20^(@)C . If the actual atmospheric pressure does not change, but the temperature of the air, and hence the temperature of the mercury and the tube rises to theta_(2)= 35^(@)C , what will be the height of mercury column in the barometer now? Coefficient of volume expansion of mercury and coefficient of linear expansion of glass are gamma_(Hg) =1.8xx10^(-4).^(@)C^(-1), alpha_(g)=0.09xx10^(-4).^(@)C^(-1)

Convert a pressure of 76 cm of mercury into Nm^(-2) . Density of mercury is 13.6 gm//c c .
