Air is trapped in a horizontal glass tub...

Air is trapped in a horizontal glass tube by 36 cm mercury column as shown below :
If the tube is held vertical keeping the open end up, lengh of air column shrink to 19 cm. What is the lengh (in cm) by which the mercury column shifts down?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
9
`P_(f)=1+(36)/(76)=(112)/(76)atm."final height" =19 cm`
`P_(i)=1atm,"initial length"=h_(i)cm`
`:. "Boyle's law "P_(i)V_(i)=P_(f)V_(f)`
`1xxh_(i)A=(112)/(76)xx19A`
`h_(i)=28cm`
`:.` The length by which the Hg column shifts down `=h_(i)-h_(f)`
`=28-19=9cm`

A barometer tube reads 76 cm of mercury. If the tube is gradually inclined keeping the open end immersed in the mercury reservoir, will the length of mercury column be 76 cm, more than 76 cm or less than 76 cm?

A 10 cm column of air is trapped by a column of mercury, 8 cm long, in a capillary tube horizantally fixed as shown below, at 1 atm pressure. When the tube is held at certain angle theta^(@) with open end up, the weight of Hg is borne partially by the gas. Vertical Height of Hg is a measure of additional pressure on gas. The length of air coloumn,when the tube is fixed vertically at the same temperature wth open end up is

In given figure, an ideal gas is trapped between a mercury column and the closed end of a uniform vertical tube. The upper end of the tube is open to the atmosphere. Initially the lengths of the mercury column and the trapped air colume are 12 cm and 50cm respectively. when the tube is titted solwly in a vertical plane through an angle of 30^(@) with horizontal then the new length of air colume is (x)/(41)m . Find x . Assuming the temperature to remains constant. (P_(atm) = 76 cm of Hg)
