A barometer tube is inclined at an angle of 30^@ with horizontal direction. Calculate length of mercury column in tube if atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of mercury.

In a mercury barometer, if the tube containing mercury is tilted, then

A barometer tube contains a mixture of air and saturated water vopour in the space above the mercury column. It reads 70cm when the actual atmospheric pressure is 76cm of mercury. The saturation vapour pressure at roon tempature is1.0 cm of mercury, The tube is now lowered in the reservoir till the space above the mercury cloumn is reduced to half its origina volume. Find the reading of the barometer. Assume that the temperature remains constant.

Air is trapped in a horizontal glass tube by 36 cm mercury column as shown below : If the tube is held vertical keeping the open end up, lengh of air column shrink to 19 cm. What is the lengh (in cm) by which the mercury column shifts down?

A column of mercury is in the middle of horizontal tube of uniform cross section closed at both ends. The pressure of the enclosed air column on either side of the mercury is 75 cm of mercury column.

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 ).
