Question

) An open-tube mercury manometer is used to measure the pressure in an oxygen tank. When the atmospheric pressure is 1040 mbar. what is the absolute pressure (in Pa) in the tank if the height of the mercury' in the open tube is (a) 28.0 cm higher. (b) 4.2 cm lower, than the mercury in the tube connected to the tank?

Solution

Step 1 of 6)
