An open U-tube contains mercury. When 11.2 cm of water is poured into one of the arms of the tube, how high does the mercury rise in the other arm from its initial level ?

Mercury has an angle of contact equal to 140^(@) with soda lime glass . A narrow tube of radius 1.00 mm made of this glass is dipped in a trough containing mercury .By what amount does the mercury dip down in the tube relative to the liquid surface outside ? Surface tension of mercury at the temperature of the experiment is 0.465Nm^(-1) . Density of mercury =13.6xx10^(3)kgm^(-3)

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

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 above now ? (Atmospheric pressure = 76 cm of Hg)

In the previous problem, If 15.0 cm of water and spirit each are further poured into the respective arms of the tube, what is the difference in the levels of mercury in the two arms?

A U- tube contains water and methlated spirit separated by mercury . The mercury columns in the two arms are in level with 10.0 cm of spirit in the other. What is the specific grvity of spirit ?

A manometer reads the pressure of a gas in an enclosure as shown in figure (a) When a pump removes some of the gas , the manometer reads as in figure (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 (a) and (b) , in units of cm of mercury. (b) How would the levels change in case (b) if 13.6 cm of water (immiscible with mercury) are poured into the right limb of the manometer ? (Ignore the small change in the volume of the gas).

An L shaped glass tube is kept inside a bus that is moving with constant acceleration during the motion the level of the liquid in the left arm is at 12 cm whereas in the right arm it is at 8 cm when the orientation of the tube is as shown assuming that the diameter of the tube is much smaller than levels of the liquid and neglecting effect of surface tension, acceleration of the bus find the (g=10m//s^(2)) .

Assertion:- If barometer is acceleratated upwards, the level of mercury in the tube of barometer will decrease. Reason:- The effective value of g will increase, so upthrust increase.

A container having base area A_(0) . Contains mercury upto a height l_(0) . At its bottom a thin tube of length 4l_(0) and cross-section area A(AltltA_(0) ) having lower end closed is attached . Initially the length of mercury in tube is 3l_(0) . in reamining part 2 mole of a gas at temperature T is closed as shown in figure . Determine the work done (in joule) by gas if all mercury is displaced from tube by heating slowly the gas in the rear end of the tube by means of a heater. (Given : density of mercury = rho , atmospheric pressure P_(0) = 2l_(0)rhog, C_(v) of gas = 3//2 R, A = (3//rho)m^(2), l_(0) = (1//9) m , all units is S.I. )
