If water be used to construct a barometer, what would be the height of water column at a standard atmospheric presure (76cm of mercury)?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C
Standard atmospheric pressure is always pressure exerted by 76 cm.
`Hg column =76xx13.6xxg` Dyne/cm^2, if water is used in the barometer
`Let h is the height of water column
`:. hxxrho_wxxg=76xx13.6xxg`
` rarr h=(76xx13.6)/`
`=1033.6cm

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 faulty barometer contains certains amount of air and saturated water vapour . It reads 74.0cm when the atmospheric pressure is 76.0cm of mercury and reads 72.10cm when the atmospheric pressure is 74.0cm of mercury.Saturation vapour pressure at air temperature =1.0cm of mercury. Find the length of the baromerer tube above the mercury level in the reservoir.

A cubical metal block of edge 12 cm floats in mercry with one fifth of the height inside the mercury. Water poured till the surface of the block is just immersed in it. Find the height of the water column to be poured. Specific gravity of mercury =13.6.

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.

In a constant volume gas thermometer, the pressure of the working gas is measured by the difference in the levels of mercury in the two arms of a U-tube connected to the gas at one end. When the bulb is placed at the room temperature 27.0^0 C , the mercury column in the arm open to atmosphere stands 5.00 cm above the level of mercury in the other arm. When the bulb is placed in a hot liquid, the difference of mercury levels becomes 45.0 cm . Calculate the temperature of the liquid. (Atmospheric pressure = 75.0cm of mercury).

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 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 =0.466Nm^-1 . Density of mercury =13600kgm^-3 .
