Solution

The correct option is A

1.08×105 Nm2


Let the pressure of gas contained in the chamber be Pg.

Consider the lowest point of U-tube.
Pressure from the right column of U-tube is:
P1=Patm+ρmgh1
Pressure from the left column of U-tube is:
P2=Pg+ρmgh2

According to Pascal's Law,
P1=P2
Patm+ρmgh1=Pg+ρmgh2
Pg=Patm+ρmg(h1h2)
Pg=105+[13600×10×(81002100)]
Pg1.08×105 Pa
