The length of the mercury column in a mercury thermometer was 15mm when it was placed in melting ice, 200mm when it was placed in steam and 100mm when it was placed in a hot liquid. What is the temperature of the liquid?

Explain how is the height of mercury column in the tube of a simple barometer, a measure of the atmospheric pressure.

The difference in the heights of mercury columns in a closed end manometer connected to a gas container is found to be 15 cm. What is the pressure of the gas in terms of Pa ?

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.

A column of mercury is in the middle of horizontal tube of uniform cross section closed at both ends. The pressure of the enclosed air column on either side of the mercury is 75 cm of mercury column. When the tuve is placed vertical the length air below the mercury column is (3)/(5) th of that above it. if length of mercury column is 10n cm. find n.

The column of mercury in a barometer is 76mm of Hg. Calculate the atmospheric pressure if the density of mercury = 13600kgm −3 . (Take g=10ms −2 )

A barometer tube reads 76 cm of mercury. If the tube is gradually inclined keeping the open end immersed in the mercury reservoir, will the length of mercury column be 76 cm, more than 76 cm or less than 76 cm?
