The height of mercury column of mercury barometer is 760mm.calculate pressure exerted on mercury column,if density of mercury column is 13.6gm/cm cube. (g=9.8m/s square)
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The pressure exerted by the mercury column of height 76 cm. Density of mercury = 13.6 g/cc = 1.36 x 104kg/m3. Pmercury = 0.76 x 1.36 x 104 x 9.8 = 10.12 x 104 Nm-2.
Answer:
Height of the Mercury Column in a Barometer = 75 cm.
For Finding the Pressure in S.I. System, Changing 75 cm into meter.
∴ Height of the Mercury column(h) = 75 cm.
= 0.75 m.
Acceleration due to gravity(g) = 9.8m/s2
Density of the Water =103kg/m3.
=1000kg/m3
Specific Gravity of the Mercury = 13.6
Specific Gravity of the Substance is the Ratio of the Density of the Substance to the Density of the Water.
∴ Specific Gravity = Density of the Substance /Density of the Water.
⇒ Density of the Mercury(ρ) = 1.3×1000
= 1300kg/m3.
Now,
Using the Formula,
Pressure(P) = hρg
= 0.75×1300×9.8
= 9555 Pa.
Hence, the Pressure is 9555 Pa.
For Finding the Pressure in C.G.S. System,
Height of the Mercury Column(h) = 75 cm.
Acceleration due to gravity(g) = 9.8m/s2
=9.8×100cm/s2
=980cm/s2.
Density of the Water =1000kg/m3.
= 1000×106g/106cm3.
= 106/106g/cm3.
= 1g/cm3
∴ Density of the Mercury(ρ) = Specific Gravity of the Mercury × Density of the Water.
=1.3×1
=1.3g/cm3.
Now Using the Formula,
Pressure(P)= hρg
= 75×1.3×980
= 9550 Ba.
Hence the Pressure is 9550 barye.
