At a given place, a barometer records 70 cm of Hg. If the mercury in the barometer is replaced by water, what would be resulting in reading? (Density of Hg = 13600 kg/m3; Density of water = 1000 kg/m3)

उत्तर
Height of mercury column = h = 70 cm = 0.70 m
Density of mercury = ρ= 13600 kg/m3
Acceleration due to gravity = g = 10 m/s2
Pressure = hρg
For water:
Height of water column = h’ =?
Pressure due to water column = P’
Density of water = ρw = 1000 kg/m3
P’ = h’ρwg
But, P’ = P
h’ρwg = hρg
h’ρw = hρ
h’ = `"hρ"/"ρ"_"w"=(0.7xx13600)/1000` = 9.52 m

Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at x = L and can be taken to be very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension S and density ρ, the liquid surface makes angle θ(θ << 1) with the x-axis at x = L. If y(x) is the height of the surface then the equation for y(x) is:
(take θ(x) = sin θ(x) = tan θ(x) = `dy/dx`, g is the acceleration due to gravity)
