Why is a low-density liquid used as a manometric liquid in a physics laboratory?

टिप्पणी लिखिए

उत्तर

A low-density liquid helps in having a larger level difference between the level of liquid in the two arms of the manometer.

Let,

pO be the atmospheric pressure,

h be the height difference between the manometric liquid in the two arms,

ρ be the density of the liquid in the manometer,

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Then, the pressure to be measured (p) is given by,

p = pO + hρg

For a given pressure p, the product hρ is constant. That is, ρ should be small for h to be large. Therefore, for large h, a low-density liquid is used as a manometric liquid in a physics laboratory.
