according to Newton's third law what is the equal and opposite force to the downward force of gravity pulling on a man standing
Fudgin [204]

When you're talking about gravity, it's easy to identify the equal
opposite forces.

Gravity ALWAYS produces an equal pair of opposite forces. 
They both act between the centers of the two objects, one in
each direction.

Consider the equal pair of opposite gravitational forces between
you and the Earth.  One force acts on you, and draws you toward
the center of the Earth.  We call that force "your weight". 
The other one acts on the Earth, and draws it toward the center
of you.  Hardly anybody ever talks about that one, but the two
forces are equal ... your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's
weight on you !

A U-shaped tube open to the air at both ends contains some mercury. A quantity of water is carefully poured into the left arm of
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) P=2450\ Pa

b) \delta h=23.162\ cm

Explanation:

Given:

height of water in one arm of the u-tube, h_w=25\ cm=0.25\ m

a)

Gauge pressure at the water-mercury interface,:

P=\rho_w.g.h_w

we've the density of the water =1000\ kg.m^{-3}

P=1000\times 9.8\times 0.25

P=2450\ Pa

b)

Now the same pressure is balanced by the mercury column in the other arm of the tube:

\rho_w.g.h_w=\rho_m.g.h_m

1000\times 9.8\times 0.25=13600\times 9.8\times h_m

h_m=0.01838\ m=1.838\ cm

<u>Now the difference in the column is :</u>

\delta h=h_w-h_m

\delta h=25-1.838

\delta h=23.162\ cm
