A manometer reads the pressure of a gas in an enclosure as shown in Fig (a). When a pump removes some of the gas, the manometer reads as in Fig (b). The liquid used in the manometers is mercury and the atmospheric pressure is
76 cm of mercury.
(a) Give the absolute and gauge pressure of the gas in the enclosure for cases (a) and (b), in units of
cm of mercury.
(b) How would the levels change in case (b) if
13.6 cm of water (immiscible with mercury) are poured into the right limb of the manometer? (Ignore the small change in the volume of the gas).
