A barometer kept in a elevator accelerating upwards with acceleration a . Fing most likely pressure inside the elevator.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The resultant acceleration of elevator in upwards direction =a+g
`therefore` The pressure in elevator
`=hrho(g+a)`
`(76xx13.6xx(g+a))/(13.6xxg)`cmHg
This pressure is greater than the atmospheric pressure 76 cm Hg .
