Before positive psychology, the main focus was mostly pathology, that is, studying various psychological issues and sometimes finding ways to treat them, or sometimes not and just studying them for the sake of studying them and noting their occurrence.
Answer:
h = 13.06 m
Explanation:
Given:
- Specific gravity of gasoline S.G = 0.739
- Density of water p_w = 997 kg/m^3
- The atmosphere pressure P_o = 101.325 KPa
- The change in height of the liquid is h m
Find:
How high would the level be in a gasoline barometer at normal atmospheric pressure?
Solution:
- When we consider a barometer setup. We dip the open mouth of an inverted test tube into a pool of fluid. Due to the pressure acting on the free surface of the pool, the fluid starts to rise into the test-tube to a height h.
- The relation with the pressure acting on the free surface and the height to which the fluid travels depends on the density of the fluid and gravitational acceleration as follows:
P = S.G*p_w*g*h
Where, h = P / S.G*p_w*g
- Input the values given:
h = 101.325 KPa / 0.739*9.81*997
h = 13.06 m
- Hence, the gasoline will rise up to the height of 13.06 m under normal atmospheric conditions at sea level.
