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.
