A satellite is to revolve round the earth in as circle of radius 8000 km. With what speed should this satellite be projected into orbit? What will be the time period? Take g at the surface =9.8ms^-2 and radius of the earth =6400 km.

A vertical cylinder of height 100cm contains air at a constant temperature. The top is closed by a friction less light piston. The atmospheric pressure is equal to 75 cm of mercury. Mercury is slowly poured over the piston. Find the maximum height of the mercury column that can be put on the piston.

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 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?

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.
