Determine the volume contraction of a solid copper cube, 10 cm on an edge, when subjected to a hydraulic pressure of `7.0 xx10^6` Pa.

Compute the fractional change in volume of a glass slab, when subjected to a hydraulic pressure of 10 atm

A spherical .ball.contracts in volume by 0.01% when subjected to a normal uniform pressure of two atmospheres. What is the bulk modulus of its material in C.G.S units?

The partial pressure of ethane over a solution containing 6.56xx10^-3 g of ethane is 1 bar. If the solution contains 5.00xx10^-2 g of ethane, then what shall be the partial pressure of the gas?

What is the pressure inside the drop of mercury of radius 3.00 mm at room temperature? Surface tension of mercury at that temperature (20^@C) is 4.65 xx 10^-1 N m^-1 . The atmospheric pressure is 1.01 xx10^-5 Pa. Also give the excess pressure inside the drop.

The surface area of a solid cylinder of radius 2.0 cm and height 10.0 cm is equal to ……. (mm)^2

The air is a mixture of a number of gases. The major components are oxygen and nitrogen with approximate proportion of 20% is to 79% by volume at 298 K. The water is in equilibrium with air at a pressure of 10 atm. At 298 K if the Henry's law constants for oxygen and nitrogen are 3.30xx10^7 mm and 6.51xx10^7 mm respectively, calculate the composition of these gases in water.

A manometer reads the pressure of a gas in an enclosure as shown in Fig. 10.25 (a) When a pump removes some of the gas, the manometer reads as in Fig. 10.25 (b) The liquid used in the manometers is mercury and the atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of mercury. (a) Give the absolute and gauge pressure of the gas in the enclosure for cases with mercury)
