The readings of a thermometer at 0^(@)C and 100^(@)C are 50 cm and 75 cm of mercury column respectively. Find the temperature at which its reading is 80 cm of mercury column ?

A barometer made of very narrow tuve (see fig) is placed at normal temperature and pressure. The coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 0.00018per C^@ and that of the tube is negligible. The temperature of mercury in the barometer is now raised by 1^@C , but the temperature of the atmosphere does not raised by 1^@C , but the temperature of the atmosphere does not change. Then the mercury height in the tube remains unchanged.

A quantity of gas is collected in a gradutated tube over the mercury. The volume of the gas at 20^(@)C is 50.0 mL and the level of the mercury in the tube is 100 mm above the outside mercury level. The barometer reads 750 mm . Volume at STP is

A horizontal uniform glass tube of 100cm length is sealed at both ends contains 10 cm mercury column in the middle , the temperature and pressure of air on either side of mercury column are repectively 31^(@)C and 76cm of mercury, if the air column at one end is kept at 0^(@)C and the other end at 273^(@)C then pressure if air which is 0^(@)C is (in cm of Hg )

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)

Mercury is poured into a U-tube in which the cross-sectional area of the left-hand limb is three times smaller than that of the right one. The level of the mercury in the narrow limb is a distandce l=30 cm from the upper end of the tube. How much will the mercury level rise in the right-hand limb if the left one is filled to the top with water?
