An open-end manometer was used to determine the pressure of a gas present in a container. It was found that the height of mercury level in the arm attached to the gas-filled container was 4 cm higher than that in the open ene arm. If the atmospheric pressure was measured to be 76 cm Hg, then what will be the pressure of the gas inside the container in atm unit?

In a hydrogen filled balloon, the pressure of the gas is 11/2 times the atmospheric pressure and its density is 83.g.m^-3 . Determine the roots mean square speed of hydrogen molecules.

The diameter of a barometer tube is 3 mm. What will be the error in the barometer reading due to surface tension? For mercury in the glass tube, the surface tension =0.647 N.m^-1 , the angle of contact =128^@ and the density of mercury =13500 kg. m^-3 .

The pressure at an orifice situated at the lower side of a vessel filled with a liquid is greater than the atmospheric pressure by 9.8xx10^3 N. m^-2 . What is the velocity of efflux if the density of the liquid is 2500 kg. m^-3 ? [g=9.8 m. s^-2]
