Pressure is determined as force per unit area of the surface. The SI unit of pressure, pascal is as shown below : `1Pa = 1N m^(-2)`
If mass of air at sea level is `1034 g cm^(-2)`, calculate the pressure in pascal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Pressure means force or weight per area.
`P=("Force")/("Area")=(1034g xx 9.8ms^(-2))/(cm^(2))`
`=(1034 kg xx 100 xx 100 xx9.8 ms^(-2))/(1000m^(2))`
`= 101332.0Nm^(-2) = 1.01332 xx 10^(5)Pa`

There is a soap bubble of radius 2.4xx10^(-4)m in air cylinder which is originally at a pressure of 10^(5)(N)/(m^(2)) . The air in the cylinder is now compressed isothermally until the radius of the bubble is halved. (the surface tension of the soap film is 0.08Nm^(-1)) . The pressure of air in the cylinder is found to be 8.08xx10^(n)(N)/(m^(2)) . What is the value of n?

The arms of a U shaped tube are vertical. The arm on right side is closed and other arm is closed by light movable piston. There is mercury in the tube and initially the level of the mercury in the arms is the same. Above the mercury, there is an air column of height h in each arm, and initial pressure is the same as atmospheric pressure in both arms. Now pistion is slowly pushed down by a distance of h//2 (see figure) Let x is the displacement of mercury level in one of the stem and P_(1) is pressure in left column of air after compression, P_(2) is pressure in right column of air after compression and P_(0) is atmospheric pressure then
