A barometer is constructed using a liquid (density =760 kg m-3) What would be the height of the liquid column, when a mercury barometer reads 76 cm?

(density of mercury =13600 kg m-3)

NEET 2020 (Phase 2)

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Recall the formula of liquid pressure due to column in terms of density of the liquid, the height of the liquid column, and the acceleration due to gravity, P=hρg

⇒76 cm×ρHg×g=h×ρL×g

⇒h=76 cm×ρHgρL=76 cm×13600760=13.6 m.
