Calculate the atmospheric pressure , if the height of mercury column in a barometer is 760 mm

Why mercury is used in barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure?

If water is used instead of mercury in a barometer, what will be the height of water column?

The height of the mercury column in a barometer at a place is 75 cm. If a liquid of unknown density is used the height of the liquid column is 150 cm, find its density.

A berometer correctlu 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 tgemperature is 0.80cm of mercury, find the height if the mercury column when it reaches its minimum value.

Which joints do we use while climbing the stairs?

A barometer is constructed with its tube having radius 1.0 mm. Assume that the surface of mercury in the tube is spherical in shape. If the atmospheric pressure is equal to 76 cm of mercury, what will be the height raised in the barometer tube? The contact angle of mercury with glass 135^@ and surface tension of mercury =0.465Nm^-1 . Density of mercury =13600kgm^-3 .

At the middle of the mercury barometer tube there is a little column of air with the length l_(0) and there is vacuum at the top as shown. Under the normal atmospheric pressure and the temperature of 200 le,vom/ l_(0)=10cm . What will be the length of the air column if the temperature rises to 330 kelvin? (Neglict expansion of the tube)

A faulty barometer tube is 90cm long and its contains some air above mercury. The reading is cm when the true atmospheric pressure 76cm . What will be the true atmospheric pressure if the reading on this barometer is 74 cm? (H = 10cm of water column)
