The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the options represent the correct values for normal atmospheric pressure, we need to understand the standard value of atmospheric pressure at sea level. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Know the Standard Value of Atmospheric Pressure**: - The normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 101.3 kilopascals (kPa) or 760 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). 2. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Option A: 101.3 kilopascals (kPa)**: - This is correct because it matches the standard value of atmospheric pressure. - **Option B: 76 mm of mercury (mmHg)**: - This is incorrect. The standard value is 760 mmHg, not 76 mmHg. - **Option C: 101.3 pascals (Pa)**: - This is incorrect. 101.3 kPa is equal to 101300 Pa, which is much larger than 101.3 Pa. - **Option D: 76 cm of mercury (cmHg)**: - This is correct. Since 1 cm = 10 mm, 76 cm is equal to 760 mmHg, which matches the standard atmospheric pressure. 3. **Conclusion**: - The correct values for normal atmospheric pressure from the options provided are: - **Option A: 101.3 kPa** - **Option D: 76 cm of mercury** ### Final Answer: The correct options are A (101.3 kPa) and D (76 cm of mercury). ---

A manometer is connected to gas container. Then the mercury level rises by 2 cm in the arm of the manometer which is not connected to the container. If the atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of mercury, then the pressure of the gas is ________ cm of mercury.

A barometer tube contains a mixture of air and saturated water vopour in the space above the mercury column. It reads 70cm when the actual atmospheric pressure is 76cm of mercury. The saturation vapour pressure at roon tempature is1.0 cm of mercury, The tube is now lowered in the reservoir till the space above the mercury cloumn is reduced to half its origina volume. Find the reading of the barometer. Assume that the temperature remains constant.

A manometer reads the pressure of a gas in an enclosure as shown in the figure. The absolute and gauge pressure of the gas in cm of mercury is (take atmospheric pressure =76 cm of mercury)

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) )

What will be the length of mercury column in a barometer tube, when the atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of mercury and the tube is inclined at an angle of 30 ^(@) with the horizontal direction ?

76 cm of mercury column is a measure of atmospherice pressure. Express it is N//m^2 Given density of mercury is 13.6xx10^3 kg//m^3

A column of mercury of 10cm length is contained in the middle of a narrow horizontal 1m long tube which is closed at both the ends. Both the halves of the tube contain air at a pressure of 76 cm of mercury. By what distance will the column of mercury be displaced if the tube is held vertically?

Convert a pressure of 76 cm of mercury into Nm^(-2) . Density of mercury is 13.6 gm//c c .

A berometer correctlu 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 tgemperature is 0.80cm of mercury, find the height if the mercury column when it reaches its minimum value.
