Amanometer reads the pressure of a gas in an enclosure as shown inFig. 10.25 (a) When a pump removes some of the gas, the manometerreads as in Fig. 10.25 (b) The liquid used in the manometers ismercury and the atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of mercury.(a) Give the absolute and gauge pressure of the gas in the enclosure forcases (a) and (b), in units of cm of mercury.(b) How would the levels change in case (b) if 13.6 cm of water(immiscible with mercury) are poured into the right limb of themanometer? (Ignore the small change in the volume of the gas).

A
manometer reads the pressure of a gas in an enclosure as shown in
Fig. 10.25 (a) When a pump removes some of the gas, the manometer
reads as in Fig. 10.25 (b) The liquid used in the manometers is
mercury and the atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of mercury.



(a)
Give the absolute and gauge pressure of the gas in the enclosure for
cases (a) and (b), in units of cm of mercury.



(b)
How would the levels change in case (b) if 13.6 cm of water
(immiscible with mercury) are poured into the right limb of the
manometer? (Ignore the small change in the volume of the gas).
