a faulty barometer reads 72.6cm mercury when the
atmospheric pressure is 75.0cm mercury.
calculate the atmospheric pressure when this barometer reads 72.0cm
mercury
atmospheric pressure is 75.0cm and it reads 72.6 cm mercury.
so it reads 2.4 cm mercury for a 75 cm mercury atmospheric pressure.
so it will read 2.4/75 cm mecrury for a 1 cm of Atm pressure.
Hence it will reads (2.4/75)×72 cm mercury for a 72 cm mercury.
i.e ,( 2.4/75)*72 = 2.4cm mercury.
So atmopheric pressure on this value is,
P = 72cm mrcury + 2.4 cm mercury.
P = 74.4 cm mercury. ...Answer.,
2nd method..
by unitry method.
P = 75×72/72.6 = 74.4 cm mercury. ..Answer.
Hope this helps you.

When using a mercury barometer, the vapour pressure of mercury is assumed to be zero. At room temperature mercury's vapour pressure is about 0.0015 mm-Hg. At the sea level the height of mercury in a barometer is about 760 mmHg. a) If the vapour pressure of mercury is neglected, is the true atmospheric pressure greater or less than the value read from the barometer? b) What is the percent error? c) What is the percent error if you use a...
2. A barometer reads the atmospheric pressure 764.7 torr. A sample of gas is placed attached to an open-end mercury monometer. The level of mercury in the op arm of the monometer has a height of 136.4 mm, and that in the arm that is in cont with the gas has a height 103.8 mm. What is the pressure of gas in atmosphere?

Question 3. i. Define absolute pressure, gage pressure and vacuum pressure. ii. If a mercury barometer reads 720 mm Hg. Determine the atmospheric pressure in kPa and psi. (I psi -6.895 kPa. Density of Hg - 13.56 g/cc). Question 4 i. Define/explain energy, kinetic energy, potential energy and internal energy ii. Explain the contribution/mechanism of internal energy with sketch.
Air pressure is measured by a barometer. One type of barometer utilizes an evacuated, calibrated tube inverted in a pool of mercury that is open to the atmosphere. As air pressure increases, the mercury will rise in the column until the weight of the mercury in the column equals the force exerted by the air on the surface of the pool. The barometer shown here (Figure 1) measures atmospheric pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg ). According to this barometer,...
