An ideal gas is trapped between a mercury column and the closed-end of a narrow vertical tube of uniform base containing the cloumn. The upper end of the tube is open to the atmosphere. the atmosphric pressure equals 76cm of mercury. The lenghts of the mercury column respectively. What will be the length of the air column when the tube is tilted slowly in a vertical plane through an angle of 60^(@) ? Assume the temperature to remain constant.

A pitot tube Fig. is used to determine the air speed of an airplane. It consists of an outer tube with a number of small holes B (four are shown that allow air into the tube, that tube is connected to one arm of a U-tube. The other arm of the U-tube is connected to hole A at the front end of the device, which points in the direction the plane is headed. At A the air becomes stagnant so that v_(A) = 0. At B, however, the speed of the air presumably equals the airspeed v of the plane. (a) Use Bernoulli's equation to show that v = sqrt((2rho gh)/(rho_(air))) where rho is the density of the liquid in the U-tube and his the difference in the liquid levels in that tube. (b) Suppose that the tube contains alcohol and the level difference h is 20.0 cm. What is the plane's speed relative to the air? The density of the air is 1.03 kg//m^(3) and that of alcohol is 810 kg/ m^(3)
