A U-tube manometer is closed at both ends one end is vacuum and other end has a gas, if the difference in level of mercury is h = 10 mm, what is the pressure of gas?

Correct Answer: 1.33 Pa
Since the other end of the manometer has vacuum, this means the pressure of gas is equal to the difference in pressure of mercury in both ends, => Pressure of gas = d*g*h = 13.6*9.8*0.01 = 1.33 Pa.
