1.

The pressure at a point in a liquid is proportional to the _______ of the liquid and the depth of the point.

  area

  density

  force

  gravitational acceleration

  Half-n-half Clue
 

2.

Soap bubbles are spherical in shape because

  air exerts equal pressure in all directions

  spherical shape has the highest ratio of surface area to volume

  soap film has a low surface tension

  air trapped inside the bubble has low pressure

  Half-n-half Clue
 

3.

The average atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 mm Hg. If the relative density of mercury is 13.6, then the air pressure can support _______ m of vertical length of a water column at sea level.

4.

pressure - manometer
One arm of a glass U-tube is open to the atmosphere, whereas the other vertical arm is connected to a gas supply. The difference in levels of mercury (density = 13.6 g cm-3) between the vertical arms of the U-tube manometer is h = 2 cm. If the atmospheric pressure is 760 mm Hg and the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m s-2, then the pressure of the gas is about

  1.061 × 104dynes cm-2

  1.016 × 107dynes cm-2

  1.040 × 106dynes cm-2

  2.666 × 104dynes cm-2

  Half-n-half Clue
 

5.

pressure - barometer
To measure the atmospheric pressure, the space (labeled A) above the mercury level in a barometer tube is

  essentially vacuum

  filled with air

  filled with water

  filled with nitrogen

  Half-n-half Clue
 

6.

21 litres of a gas at a pressure of 2 bar are compressed to 7 litres without any change in the temperature. The final pressure of the gas is about

  6.0  bar

  0.67 bar

  21  bar

  2.33  bar

  Half-n-half Clue
 

7.

If the average atmospheric pressure at sea level can support 10.34 m of vertical length of a water column, then its magnitude is about _______ Pa.
Assume density of water = 1 g cm−3 and gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m s−2.
