How high does the mercury barometer stand on a day when atmospheric pressure is `98.6 kPa` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`H = P_("atm")/P_(Hg) = 98.6 xx 10 xx 10 xx 10 `
` = ((N//m)^(2))/(13.6 xx 10 xx 10 xx 10 Kg//m^(3))`
` = 9.8 m//s^(2) = 740 mm`

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.
