Question:
Torricelli?? barometer used mercury but Pascal duplicated it using French wine of density $ 984 \,kg \,m^{-3} $ . In that case, the height of the wine column for normal atmospheric pressure is (Take the density of mercury $ = 13.6 \times 10^{3} \,kg\, m^{-3} $ )

- $ 5.5 \, m $
- $ 10.5 \,m $
- $ 9.8 \, m $
- $ 15 \, m $

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
As $ P =h \rho g $
Height of mercury column in Torricelli ?? barometer
$ =0.76 \, m $ of Hg,
$ \rho_{\text{mercury}}=13.6 \times10^{3}\, kg\, m^{-3} $ ,
$ \rho_{\text{french wine}}=984 \, kg \, m^{-3} $
or $ 0.76\times\left(13.6\times10^{3}\right)\times9.8=h \times984 \times9.8 $
or $ h=\frac{0.76\times13.6\times10^{3}\times9.8}{984\times9.8} $
$ =10.5\,m $

Concepts Used:
Bernauli Theorem
In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy. The principle is named after Daniel Bernoulli who published it in his book Hydrodynamica in 1738.
