If the tube is now turned to a vertical position, by what amount will the mercury be displaced? (Given: cross-section of the tube can be assumed to be uniform) ........ $cm$

  • A
    $2.95$
  • B
    $5.18$
  • C
    $8.65$

An engineer is given a fixed volume $V_m$ of metal with which to construct a spherical pressure vessel. Assuming the vessel has thin walls and is pressurized to its bursting point,the amount of gas the vessel can contain,$n$ (in moles),depends only on $V_m$ $(m^3)$,the temperature $T$ $(K)$,the ideal gas constant $R$ $(J/(K \cdot mol))$,and the tensile strength of the metal $\sigma$ $(N/m^2)$. Which of the following gives $n$ in terms of these parameters?
