Included Quiz Questions
The pressure of atmosphere at the top of Mount Everest is 30 kPa. What is the height that mercury rises in a barometer at the top of Mount Everest? Note: pressure at sea level is 1 atm = 100 kPa = 760 mm Hg
- 228 mm
- 760 mm
- 76 mm
- 380 mm
- 253 mm
At the top of Mount Everest due to reduced atmospheric pressure, the height to which mercury rises in a mercury barometer is 228 mm. What would be the height of water in a water barometer at the top of Mount Everest? Note: The specific gravity of mercury is 13.6.
- 3.1 m
- 10.3 m
- 228 mm
- 760 mm
- 2.28 m
We are at a certain altitude above sea level with atmospheric pressure of R atm, 0 < R < 1. What would be the height that a fluid with specific gravity of S would rise in a barometer at this altitude? Note: specific gravity of mercury is 13.6 and 1 atm = 760 mm Hg
- h = 10336 R/S mm
- h = 10336 RS mm
- h = 760 RS mm
- h = 760 R/S mm
- h = 760 /(RS) mm
