The Heights of mercury surface in the two arms of the manometer shown are 2 cm and 8 cm. find the pressure of the gas in the cylinder? Patm = 105 N/m2
1.08 × 105 N/cm2
Pressure of gas contained in the chamber = pressure at point A = pressure at point B
PB=Patm+pgh
Where h=(8−2) cm=6 cm
PB=105+(13600×10×6100)
=108160 Nm−2
=1.08160×105Pa
