Answer 1

Using the straw he can drink water fro the glass upto maximum depth of 76/75

Answer 2

Answer:

Ans. 13.6 cm

Explanation:

Pressure difference between lungs of student and atmosphere=760 - 750 = 10 mm of Hg

hdg = 10 mm of Hg = 1 cm of Hg

This pressure can only be used to drink water.

1 cm of Hg = pressure difference due to water column

=> 1 x 13.6 x g = h x 1 x g. [d of Hg=13.6 g/cm3]

=> 1 x 13.6 = h x 1

=> h = 13.6 cm
