A simple U tube contains mercury to the same level in both of its arms. If water is poured to a height of 13.6 cm in one arm, how much will be the rise in mercury level in the other arm ? Given : density of mercury = 13.6 xx 10^3 "kg m"^(-3) and density of water = 10^3 "kg m"^(-3) .

A U-shaped tube open to the air at both ends contains some mercury. A quantity of water is carefully poured into the left arm of the U-shaped tube until the vertical height of the water column is 15.0 cm . (a) What is the gauge pressure at the water mercury interface ? (b) Calculate the vertical distance h from the top of the mercury in the right hand arm of the tube to the top of the water in the left-hand arm. .

Two communicating cylindrical tubes contain mercury. The diameter of one vessel is four times large than the diameter of the outer. A column of water of height 70 cm is poured into the narrow vessel. How much wil the mercury level rise in the other vessel and how much will it sink in the narow one? How much will the mercury level rise in the narrow vessel, if a column of water of the same height is pured into the broad vessel?

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? (Relative density of mercury = 13.6).

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

A u tube contains water and methylated spirit separated by mercury. The mercury columns in the two arms are at the same levels with 10 cm of water in one arm and 12.5 cm of spirit on the other arm as shown. If 15 cm of water and spirit each are further poured into the respective arms of the tube. Difference in the level of mercury in the two arms is (Take, relative density of mercury = 13.6, relative density of spirit=0.8)

A vertical U-tube of uniform cross-section contains mercury in both arms A glycerine (relative density =1.3) column of length 10 cm is introduced into one of the arms. Oil of density 800 gm m^(-3) is poured into the other arm until the upper surface of the oil and hlycerine are at the same horizontal level, find the length of the column. Density of mercury is 13.6xx10^(3)kgm^(-3)

Mercury is poured into a U-tube in which the cross-sectional area of the left-hand limb is three times smaller than that of the right one. The level of the mercury in the narrow limb is a distandce l=30 cm from the upper end of the tube. How much will the mercury level rise in the right-hand limb if the left one is filled to the top with water?

Figure shows an ideal gas. Its pressure, volume and temperature are P_0, V_0 and T_0 respectively. Thin U-tube contains mercury. It is seen that when 20 cm of extra mercury is added in limb B of U-tube and temperature of gas is doubled, level of A is maintained at its position. Consider surrounding to be vacuum. Find the initial pressure of gas (in cm of Hg.)
