A barometer tube contains a mixture of air and saturated water vopour in the space above the mercury column. It reads 70cm when the actual atmospheric pressure is 76cm of mercury. The saturation vapour pressure at roon tempature is1.0 cm of mercury, The tube is now lowered in the reservoir till the space above the mercury cloumn is reduced to half its origina volume. Find the reading of the barometer. Assume that the temperature remains constant.

An ideal gas is trapped between a mercury column and the closed-end of a narrow vertical tube of uniform base containing the column. The upper end of the tube is open to the atmosphere. the atmospheric pressure equals 76cm of mercury. The lengths of the mercury column and trapped air column are 20 cm and 43 cm respectively. What will be the length of the air column when the tube is tilted slowly in a vertical plane through an angle of 60^(@) ? Assume the temperature to remain constant.

A barometer reads 75cm if mercury. When 2.0cm^(3) of air at atmospheric pressure is introduced into space above the mercury level, the volume of this space becomes 50 cm^(3) . find the length by which the mercury column descends.

A satellite revolves round the earth. Air pressure inside the satellite is maintained at 76 cm of mercury. What will be the height of mercury column in a barometer tube 1m long placed inn the satellite?

A glass tube sealed at both ends is 100cm long, It lies horizontally with the middle 10cm containing mercury. The two ends of the tube contain air at 27^(@)C and at a pressure 76cm of mercury. The air column on one side is maintained at 0^(@)C and the other side is maintained at 127^(@)C . Calculate the length of the air column on the cooler side. neglect the changes in the volume of mercury and of the glass.

A barometer kept in an elevator accelerating upwards reads 76 cm of mercury. If the elevator is accelerating upwards at 4.5 ms^(-2) . Find the air pressure in the elevator in cm of mercury. Density of mercury =13.6xx10^(3)kgm^(-3) [Take g=9.8m//s^(2) ].

A barometer kept in an elevator reads 76 cm when it is at rest. If the elevator goes up with increasing speed, the reading will be

A barometer tube is 80 cm long (above the mercury reservoir). It reads 76 cm in a particular day. A small amount of water is introduced in the tube and the reading drops to 75.4 cm. Find the relative humidity in the space above the mercury column if the saturation vapor pressure at the room temperature is 1.0cm.

To construct a barometer, a tube of length 1m is filled completely with mercury and is inverted in a mercury cup. The barometer reading on a particular day is 76 cm. Suppose a 1m tube is filled with mercury up to 76 cm and then closed by a cork. It is inverted in a mercury cup and the cork is removed. It is inverted in a mercury column in the tube over the surface in the cup will be
