An ideal gas is trapped between a mercury column and the closed lower end of a narrow vertical tube of uniform bore. The upper end of the tube is open to atmosphere (Atmospheric pressure =76 cm of Hg). The lengths of the mercury and the trapped gas columns are 20 cm and 43 cm respectively. What will be the length of the gas column when the tube is tilted slowly in a vertical plane through an angle of 60° ? Assume constant temperature all through.

A barometer tube is 1 m long and 2 cm2 in cross-section. Mercury stands to a height of 75 cm in the tube. When a small amount of a gas is introduced in the space above the mercury level, the level came down by 5 cm. Calculate the mass of the gas introduces. Room temperature=300 K ; g =10 ms-2  and density of mercury =13600 kgm-3. Molecular mass of the gas =32.

A cubical tank with side 0.4 m is closed at the top. At 0.25 m from the base, a vertical pipe is joined to one side of the tank. The pipe contains water upto a length of 0.55 m. If the cross-section of the pipe is 0.01 m2, calculate the thrust on each side of the tank including the top. Take g=10 m/s2.

A solid cubical block of side a made of uniform material of specific gravity S<1, is held just above the water surface in a large vessel, the lower horizontal face of the cube just touching the water surface. Prove that when the cube sinks down so that a depth x is immersed, the potential energy of water and the block increases by Wx2-2xaS/2as, where W is the weight of the block. Show that the equilibrium position of the block when it is floating freely corresponds to a minimum value of the potential energy.
