At a given place, a mercury barometer records a pressure of 0.70 m of Hg. What would be the height of water column if mercury in barometer is replaced by water? Take R.D. of mercury = 13.6.

An open glass tube is immersed in mercury in such a way that a length of 8 cm extends above the mercury level. The open end of the tube is then closed and sealed and the tube is raised vertically up by additional 46 cm. What will be length of the air column above mercury in the tube now? (atmospheric pressure =76 cm of Hg)

Torricelli's barometer used mercury but pascal duplicated it using French wine of density 984 kg m^(-3) . In that case, the height of the wine column for normal atmospheric pressure is (Take the density of mercury =1.36xx10^(3) kg m^(-3) )

A faulty barometer contains certains amount of air and saturated water vapour . It reads 74.0cm when the atmospheric pressure is 76.0cm of mercury and reads 72.10cm when the atmospheric pressure is 74.0cm of mercury.Saturation vapour pressure at air temperature =1.0cm of mercury. Find the length of the baromerer tube above the mercury level in the reservoir.

A barometer correctly reads the atmospheric pressure as 76cm of mercury. Water droplets are slowly introduced into the barometer tube by a dropper. The height of the mercury column first decreases and then become constant. If the saturation vapour pressure at the atmospheric temperature is 0.80cm of mercury, find the height if the mercury column when it reaches its minimum value.

Why mercury is used in barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure?

An open glass tube is immersed in mercury in such a way that a lenth of 8cm extends above the mercury level. The open end of the tube is then closed and sealed and the tube is raised vertically up by additional 46cm. What will be length of the air column above mercury in the tube now? (Atmosphere pressure =76cm of Hg)

A cubical metal block of edge 12 cm floats in mercry with one fifth of the height inside the mercury. Water poured till the surface of the block is just immersed in it. Find the height of the water column to be poured. Specific gravity of mercury =13.6.

A manometer reads the pressure of a gas in a enclosure as shown in figure(a) When some of the gas is removed by a pump, the manometer reads as in (b). The liquid used in the manometers is mercury and the atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of mercury. (i) Give the absolute and gauge pressure of the gas in the enclosure for cases (a) and (b) in units of cm of mercury . (ii) How would the level change in case (b) if 13.6 cm of water are poured into the right limb of the manometer?
