$A$ barometer is kept in an elevator accelerating upwards with an acceleration $a$. Find the most likely pressure inside the elevator.

  • A
    Pressure $= h \rho g$
  • B
    Pressure $= h \rho (g - a)$
  • C
    Pressure $= h \rho (g + a)$
  • D
    Pressure $= 0$

$A$ manometer reads the pressure of a gas in an enclosure as shown in Figure $(a)$. When a pump removes some of the gas,the manometer reads as in Figure $(b)$. The liquid used in the manometers is mercury and the atmospheric pressure is $76 \; cm$ of mercury.
$(a)$ Give the absolute and gauge pressure of the gas in the enclosure for cases $(a)$ and $(b)$,in units of $cm$ of mercury.
$(b)$ How would the levels change in case $(b)$ if $13.6 \; cm$ of water (immiscible with mercury) are poured into the right limb of the manometer? (Ignore the small change in the volume of the gas).
