Gce Model Questions Vol1 2017 Physics Question 15
Practice objective / multiple choice question 15 from the 2017 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Physics examination.
A U‑tube manometer contains water (\(\rho_{\text{w}} = 1000\ \text{kg m}^{-3}\)). Mercury (\(\rho_{\text{Hg}} = 13600\ \text{kg m}^{-3}\)) is poured into the right arm, forming a column \(0.12\ \text{m}\) high above the water level in that arm. The water levels in the two arms differ by \(0.30\ \text{m}\), the water in the left arm being higher. The right arm is open to the atmosphere. Find the gauge pressure of the gas in the left arm (i.e., the pressure above atmospheric pressure) in pascals.
