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).

A potato gun first a potato horizontally down a half-open cylinder of cross-sectional area A . When the gun is fired , the potato slug is at rest , the volume betweeen the end of the cylinder and the potato is V_(0) , and the pressure of the gas in this volume is P_(0) . The atmospheric pressure is P_("atm") . where P__(0) gt P_("atm") . The gas in the cylinder is diatomic, this means that C_(V) = (5R)/(2) and C_(P) = (7R)/(2) . The potato moves down the cylinder quickly enough that no heat is transferred to the gas. Friction between the potato and the barreel is negligible and no gas leaks around the potato . The parameters P_(0) , P_("atm"), V_(0) and A are fixed, but the overall length L of the barrel may be varied. The maximum kinetic energy E_("max") with which the potato can exit the barrel?
