is decreased by 0.1%. The bulk modulus of rubber is 9.8*108 Nm-2 and
density of sea water is 103 kg/m3?
SECTION-D
Case study question-

The pressure of the atmosphere at any point is equal to the weight of a

column of air of unit cross-sectional area extending from that point to the
top of the atmosphere. At sea level, it is 1.013 × 105 Pa (1 atm). Italian
scientist Evangelista Torricelli (1608–1647) devised for the first time a
method for measuring atmospheric pressure. Where r is the
density of mercury and h is the of the mercury column in the tube In the
experiment it is found that the mercury column in the barometer has a
height of about 76 cm at sea level equivalent to one atmosphere (1 atm).
This can also be obtained using the value of r. A common way of stating
pressure is in terms of cm or mm of mercury (Hg). A pressure equivalent
of 1 mm is called a torr (after Torricelli). 1 torr = 133 Pa. The mm of Hg
and torr are used in medicine and physiology. In meteorology, a common
unit is the bar and millibar.1 bar = 105 Pa. An open tube manometer is a
useful instrument for measuring pressure differences.

Answer the following questions-

1) Who gave for the first time a method for measuring atmospheric
pressure?
a) Newton
b) Pascal
c) Torricelli
d) None of the above
2) 1 torr is equal to
a) 1000 pa
 b) 133 pa
c) 50 pa
d) None of these
3) Which device is used for measurement of pressure difference?
4) What is atmospheric pressure?
