$A$ barometer tube,containing mercury,is lowered in a vessel containing mercury until only $50 \, cm$ of the tube is above the level of mercury in the vessel. If the atmospheric pressure is $75 \, cm$ of mercury,what is the pressure at the top of the tube?

  • A
    $33.3 \, kPa$
  • B
    $66.7 \, kPa$
  • C
    $3.33 \, MPa$
  • D
    $6.67 \, MPa$

What are the difficulties arising from using water in a barometer instead of mercury?

$A$ submarine experiences a pressure of $5.05 \times 10^6 \, Pa$ at a depth of $d_1$ in a sea. When it goes further to a depth of $d_2,$ it experiences a pressure of $8.08 \times 10^6 \, Pa.$ Then $d_2 - d_1$ is approximately ........ $m$ (density of water $= 10^3 \, kg/m^3$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \, m/s^2$).
