QUESTION 5 A mercury barometer registers a reading of 760 mm. If a piezometer using water were to be used to measure the atmospheric pressure, it would require a height of: 103.36 m 760 m 13.6 m 10.336 m

Mercury (Hg) can be used in a barometer to measure air pressure, based on how tall a column of mercury can be supported by the pressure of the atmosphere or another gas sample. The barometric reading a specific day was 743.8 mm Hg. If the interior circumference of the tube holding the mercury is 9.82 mm, what is the mass of mercury in the tube (above the pool of mercury)? The column may be treated as a cylinder. Mercury has a density of 13.55 g/mL.

In a Torricelli barometer, a pressure of one atmosphere supports a 760 mm column of mercury. If the original tube containing the mercury is replaced with a tube having twice the diameter of the original, the height of the mercury column at one atmosphere pressure is ____ mm. C) 355 A) 380 D) 121 B) 760
