If water be used to construct a barometer, what would be the height of water column at a standard atmospheric presure (76cm of mercury)?

A beaker of circular cross-section of radius 4 cm is filled with mercury up to a height of 10 cm. Find the force exerted by the mercury on the bottom of the beaker. The atmospheric pressure =10^5Nm^-2 . Density of mercury =13600 kgm^-3. Take g10ms^-2

A barometer is constructed with its tube having radius 1.0 mm. Assume that the surface of mercury in the tube is spherical in shape. If the atmospheric pressure is equal to 76 cm of mercury, what will be the height raised in the barometer tube? The contact angle of mercury with glass 135^@ and surface tension of mercury =0.466Nm^-1 . Density of mercury =13600kgm^-3 .

There is an air bubble of radius 1.0 mm in a liquid of surface tension 0.075Nm^-1 and density 1000 kg m^-3 . The bubble is at a depth of 10 cm below the free surface. By what amount is the pressure inside the bubble greater than the atmospheric pressure? Take g=9.8ms^-2 .

A satellite revolves round the earth. Air pressure inside the satellite is maintained at 76 cm of mercury. What will be the height of mercury column in a barometer tube 1m long placed inn the satellite?

In the experiment for the determination of the speed of sound in air using the resonance column method, the length of the air column that resonates in the fundamental mode, with a tunig for is 0.1 , when this length is changed to 3.5 m the same tuning fork resonates with the first overtone. Calculate the end correction :

A glass full of water has a bottom of area 20 cm^(2) , top of area 20 cm , height 20 cm and volume half a litre. Find the force exerted by the water on the bottom. Atmospheric pressure = 1.0 xx 10^(5) N//m^(2) . Density of water = 1000 kg//m^(-3) and g = 10 m//s^(2)

A plate of area 10 cm^2 is to be electroplated with copper (density 9000 kg m^(-3) to a thickness of 10 micrometres on both sides, using a cell of 12 V . Calculate the energy spend by the cell in the process of deposition. If this energy is used to heat 100 g of water, calculate the rise in the temperature of the water. ECE of copper = 3 xx 10^(-7) kg C^(-1) and specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg^(-1) K^(-1) .

A barometer reads 75cm if mercury. When 2.0cm^(3) of air at atmospheric pressure is introduced into space above the mercury level, the volume of this space becomes 50 cm^(3) . find the length by which the mercury column descends.
