Torricelli's barometer used mercury. Pascal duplicated it using French wine of density $984 kg m^{- 3}$ . Determine the height of the wine column for normal atmospheric pressure.

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Normal atmospheric pressure, $P = 1.013 \times 10^{5} N m^{- 2}$

Let h be the height of the wine column. Then,

$P = h ρ g$

Or $h = \frac{P}{ρ g} = \frac{1.013 \times 10^{5}}{984 \times 9.8} = 10.5 m$
