We learned that a column of mercury in a barometer is around 760 mm in height. We also learned that a water barometer would have to be over 10 m tall. What would be the height of a column of isopropyl alcohol if it were used in a barometer? the density of isopropyl alcohol is 785 kg/m3 (meters cubed).

Mercury (Hg) can be used in a barometer to measure air pressure, based on how tall a column of mercury can be supported by the pressure of the atmosphere or another gas sample. The barometric reading a specific day was 743.8 mm Hg. If the interior circumference of the tube holding the mercury is 9.82 mm, what is the mass of mercury in the tube (above the pool of mercury)? The column may be treated as a cylinder. Mercury has...

To save money on buying mercury you build a BAROMETER using water as the fluid inside the column. Approximately, how tall is your barometer? (HINTS r(mercury) =1.36 x 104 kg/m3 and r(water) = 1.00 x 103 kg/m3).

The pressure reading in a mercury barometer is 76 cm. Convert this into N/m^2. If a barometer were made with water of density 1.0 g/cc, what would be equivalent pressure reading in cm unit?

The column of a mercury barometer is calibrated in linear units
(such as inches or millimeters) and thus the air pressure observed
on such a barometer is reported in terms of these linear units.
This measurement of pressure can be converted to other common
pressure units. Some conversion factors are shown here.
1mm Hg = 1torr
1 atm = 760mm Hg
1 atm = 1.01325 bar
1 Pa = 10-5 bar

In principle many different liquids could be used in a barometer. Mercury is usually preferred by virtue of its low vapour pressure and high density. As part of a school project, you have decided to build a barometer using water. Assuming the maximum pressure that the instrument will need to read is 1.05 atm, determine the height of the column required if (a) you ignore the vapour pressure of water or (b) you take the vapour pressure of water (PH2O=3.17...
(a) How high in meters must a column of water be to exert a pressure equal to that of a 760-mm column of mercury?
(a) How high in meters must a column of water be to exert a pressure equal to that of a 760-mm column of mercury? The density of water is 1.0 g/mL whereas that of mercury is 13.6 g/mL (b) What is the pressure, in atmospheres, on the body of a diver if he or she is 39 ft below the surface of the water when atmospheric pressure at the surface is 0.97 atm?
