Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a column of mercury measuring 700 mm in a barometer. How much pressure does this equate to in Pascals? What if this same pressure is measured subsequently in water, how high would the column be?
💡 Hint: Convert between mercury and water with suitable density ratios.
Question 2
Given a pressure vessel reading 650 kPa using water and needing to convert that to mercury for effective readings. What would be the height of mercury and what implications does this have for pressure measurement accuracy?
💡 Hint: Compare mercury density to that of water for accurate pressure readings.
