PRESSURE

1.

The diagram shows a gas being trapped by a

mercury column in a tube immersed in a container
containing mercury. Calculate the pressure of the
gas if atmospheric pressure is 76 cmHg
.

2.

The diagram shows a U-tube containing water and

a liquid X. If the density of water is 1000 kgm-3,
what is the density of the liquid X?

3.

The diagram shows two liquids, P and Q, which do

not mix. The liquids are in equilibrium in an open
U-tube. Find the ratio of density of P .
density of Q

4.

The diagram shows a manometer filled with

mercury and is used to measure the pressure of a
gas. What is the pressure of the gas? (Patm = 76
cmHg or 105 Pa)

5.

The diagram shows a U-tube filled with mercury.

One end of the tube is connected to a gas and the
other end is open. What is the pressure of the gas?
(Patm = 76 cmHg or 105 Pa)
