To solve the problem, we need to determine the difference in the levels of mercury in the two arms of the manometer due to a given gauge pressure. We can use the relationship between pressure, density, gravitational acceleration, and height difference. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Density of mercury, \( \rho = 13.6 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - Gauge pressure, \( P = 1.03 \times 10^5 \, \text{Pa} \) - Acceleration due to gravity, \( g \approx 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (for simplicity) ...

In a constant volume gas thermometer, the pressure of the working gas is measured by the difference in the levels of mercury in the two arms of a U-tube connected to the gas at one end. When the bulb is placed at the room temperature 27.0^0 C , the mercury column in the arm open to atmosphere stands 5.00 cm above the level of mercury in the other arm. When the bulb is placed in a hot liquid, the difference of mercury levels becomes 45.0 cm . Calculate the temperature of the liquid. (Atmospheric pressure = 75.0cm of mercury).
