Chapter 12.2, Problem 12.2TYU
Mercury is less dense at high temperatures than at low temperatures. Suppose you move a mercury barometer from the cold interior of a tightly sealed refrigerator to outdoors on a hot summer day. You find that the column of mercury remains at the same height in the tube. Compared to the air pressure inside the refrigerator, is the air pressure outdoors (i) higher, (ii) lower, or (iii) the same? (Ignore the very small change in the dimensions of the glass tube due to the temperature change.)

In one observation, the column in a mercury barometer has a measured height h of 740.35 mm.The temperature is 5.0 C, at which temperature the density of mercury r is 1.3608 * 10^4 kg/m3.The free-fall acceleration g at the site of the barom- eter is 9.7835 m/s2.What is the atmospheric pressure at that site in pascals and in torr (which is the common unit for barometer readings)?
In 1654 Otto von Guericke, inventor of the air pump, gave a demonstration before the noblemen of the Holy Roman Empire in which two teams of eight horses could not pull apart two evacuated brass hemispheres. (a) Assuming the hemispheres have (strong) thin walls, so that R may be considered both the inside and outside radius, show that the force required to pull apart the hemispheres has magnitude F = pR2 p, where p is the difference between the pressures outside and inside the sphere. (b) Taking R as 30 cm, the inside pressure as 0.10 atm, and the outside pressure as 1.00 atm, find the force magnitude the teams of horses would have had to exert to pull apart the hemispheres. (c) Explain why one team of horses could have proved the point just as well if the hemispheres were attached to a sturdy wall.
You are doing experiments from a research ship in the Atlantic Ocean. On a day when the atmospheric pressure at the surface of the water is 1.03 * 105 Pa, at what depth below the surface of the water is the absolute pressure (a) twice the pressure at the surface and (b) four times the pressure at the surface?

- In about 1657. Otto von Guericke, inventor of the air pump, evacuated a sphere made of two brass hemispheres (Fig. P9.89). Two teams of eight horses each could pull the hemispheres apart only on some trials and then with greatest difficulty, with the resulting sound likened to a cannon firing.
