2. Jerome and Arnel decided to prove the variation of pressure at different elevations within the lowest layer of the atmosphere, which is the troposphere, using standard mercury barometers. Arnel decided to measure the pressure on the ground by placing the device at the bottom of 125-m high building while Jerome, placed his instrument on the rooftop. After achieving equilibrium, Jerome's mercury barometer reads 750 mm. What should be the reading on Arnel's mercury barometer?

An initially empty tank on Earth is being filled with water so that the height of the water in the tank increases at a steady rate. Which one of the following graphs best describes the gauge pressure P at a point on the bottom of this tank as a function of time t during the filling process? Assume the tank starts filling at time t = Os and that the top of the tank is open to the atmosphere. The atmospheric pressure does not change during the process. The water in the tank does not overflow or reach the top of the tank during this process. A) D) P B)
An air-filled, hemispherical shell is attached to the ocean floor at a depth of 9.4 m as shown in the figure below. A mercury barometer located inside the shell reads 765 mm Hg, and a mercury U-tube manometer designed to give the outside water pressure indicates a differential reading of 735 mm Hg as illustrated. Based on these data what is the atmospheric pressure at the ocean surface? Patm = kPa 735 mm Ocean surface Seawater 360 mm Mercury Shell- -Shell wall L 9.4m
