In an open manometer filled with mercury (density = 13600 kg/mĀ³), the level of the mercury column on the air side is 0.08 m lower than that on the gas side. Determine the pressure of the gas. The atmospheric pressure is 9.6e4 Pa.
Added by Brandon T.
Step 1
First, we need to calculate the pressure difference between the two sides of the manometer. This can be done using the formula for pressure in a fluid column: P = Ļgh, where Ļ is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height Show moreā¦

What is the pressure in millimeters of mercury inside a container of gas connected to a mercury-filled open-end manometer of the sort shown in Figure 9.4 when the level in the arm connected to the container is 17.6 $\mathrm{cm}$ lower than the level in the arm open to the atmosphere and the atmospheric pressure reading outside the apparatus is 754.3 $\mathrm{mm}$ Hg?
Calculate the pressure exerted by a mercury column of 76 cm high at its bottom. Given that the density of mercury is 13600 kg/m^3 and g = 9.8 m/s^2.

Determine the atmospheric pressure at a location where the barometric reading is $750 \mathrm{mmHg}$. Take the density of mercury to be $13,600 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$
