Question

CO! Oher...9

Answer 1

Answer:

Altitude of the town(h1) = 1,196.8 m

Explanation:

Given:

Height of barometer(h) = 65 cm Hg = 0.65

Standard atmospheric pressure  = 76 cm Hg = 0.76

Density of mercury(Pm) = 13,600 kg/m³

Density of  air (Pa) = 1.25 kg/m³

Find:

Altitude of the town(h1)

Computation:

Pressure due column = Δp mercury column

(Pa)(h1) = (Pm)(h)

(1.25)(h1) = (13,600)(0.76-0.65)

(1.25)(h1) = 1,496

Altitude of the town(h1) = 1,196.8 m
