The value of g at a place decreases by 2%. The barometric height of mercury
Increases by 2%
Decreases by 2%
Remains unchanged
Sometimes increases and sometimes decreases
h=Pρg∴h∝1g (P and ρ are constant)
If value of g decreased by 2% then h will increase by 2%.
If the value of g at a place is decreased by 2%. The barometric height of the mercury
Assuming the density of air to be 1.295kg/m3, find the fall in the barometric height in mm of Hg at a height of 107 m above sea level. Take density of mercury = 13.6×103kg/m3.
