A mercury manometer is used to measure the pressure (Pgas) of a gas enclosed in a container. On Earth, there is a height difference Ah between the two columns of mercury, as shown in the diagram. Po Pgas mercury This device is now taken to Jupiter (acceleration of gravity gJup 24.79 m/s2) and used in an enclosure which is kept at the Earth's atmospheric pressure (Po 101 kPa). What happens to Ah? Ah would increase Ah would not change Not enough information to tell Ah would decrease

The sketch shows an oil manometer that is connected between two pipes which transport water. The density of water can be taken as 998kg/m3, the specific gravity of glycerol is 0.76 and atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. The respective dimensions (as shown on the sketch) are given below: h1 = 0.17 m h2 = 350 mm h3 =15cm. From the given data, calculate the pressure difference between the two pipes.
Sometimes manometer dimensions have a signifi canteffect. In Fig. containers ( a ) and ( b ) are cylindricaland conditions are such that p a = p b . Derive a formula forthe pressure difference p a - p b when the oil–water interfaceon the right rises a distance ∆ h< h , for ( a ) d << D and ( b ) d=0.15 D . What is the percentage change in the value of ∆ p ?
If a scuba diver descends too quickly into the sea, the internal pressure on each eardrum remains at atmospheric pressure, while the external pressure increases due to the increased water depth. At sufficient depths, the difference between the external and internal pressures can rupture an eardrum. Eardrums can rupture when the pressure difference is as little as 35 kPa. What is the depth at which this pressure difference could occur? The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3. 1)sketch (include everything in the system) 2)solution(step by step)
