The mercury manometer consists if two unequal arms of equal cross section `1 cm^(2) and lenghths 100cm and 50cm. The two open ends are sealed with air in the tube at a pressure of 80cm of mercurey. Some amount of mercury is now introduced in the manometer through the stopcock connected to it. If mercury rises in the shorter tube to a lenght 10cm in steady state, find the length of the mercury column risen in the longer tube.

A U shaped tube has two arms of equal cross section and lengths l_(1) = 80 cm and l_(2) = 40 cm. The open ends are sealed with air in the tube at a pressure of 80 cm of mercury. Some mercury is now introduced in the tube through a stopcock connected at the bottom (the air is not allowed to leak out). In steady condition the length of mercury column in the shorter arm was found to be 10 cm. Find the length of the mercury column in the longer arm. Neglect the volume of the part of the tube connecting two arms and assume that the temperature is constant.

The hieght of a mercury barometer is 75.6 cm . the baromter tube has cross -section of 1cm ^(2) and the volume of the enclosed space above the mercury surface is 10 cc. one cc of air at atmospheric pressure is introduced into the tube. Find the change in the reading of the barometer.

One of the limbs of a mercury manometer is connected to a gas cylinder. The mercury level in the limb connected to the gas cylinder is 10 cm higher than that in the other limb. Then the gauge pressure of the gas is _______ cm of Hg.
