What does it mean when a height of a barometer is falling ?

A uniformly tapering vessel is filled with a liquid of density $900 kg/m^3.$  The force that acts on the base of the vessel due to the liquid is ......... $N$. $(g = 10\,m{s^{ - 2}})$

$9\  kg$ of mercury is poured into a glass $U-tube$ with inner diameter of $1.2 \ cm$. The mercury can flow without friction within the tube.  the oscillation period ......... $\sec$. Density of mercury = $13.6 × 10^3\  kg/m^3$. 

A beaker containing a liquid is kept inside a big closed jar. If the air inside the jar is continuously pumped out, the pressure in the liquid near the bottom of the liquid will

A fixed thermally conducting cylinder has a radius $\mathrm{R}$ and height $\mathrm{L}_0$. The cylinder is open at its bottom and has a small hole at its top. A piston of mass $M$ is held at a distance $L$ from the top surface, as shown in the figure. The atmospheric pressure is $\mathrm{P}_0$.

$1.$  The piston is now pulled out slowly and held at a distance $2 \mathrm{~L}$ from the top. The pressure in the cylinder between its top and the piston will then be

$(A)$ $\mathrm{P}_0$ $(B)$ $\frac{\mathrm{P}_0}{2}$  $(C)$ $\frac{P_0}{2}+\frac{M g}{\pi R^2}$  $(D)$ $\frac{\mathrm{P}_0}{2}-\frac{\mathrm{Mg}}{\pi \mathrm{R}^2}$

$2.$  While the piston is at a distance $2 \mathrm{~L}$ from the top, the hole at the top is sealed. The piston is then released, to a position where it can stay in equilibrium. In this condition, the distance of the piston from the top is

$(A)$ $\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{P}_0 \pi \mathrm{R}^2}{\pi \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{P}_0+\mathrm{Mg}}\right)(2 \mathrm{~L})$  $(B)$ $\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_0 \pi R^2-\mathrm{Mg}}{\pi R^2 \mathrm{P}_0}\right)(2 \mathrm{~L})$ 

$(C)$ $\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_0 \pi \mathrm{R}^2+\mathrm{Mg}}{\pi \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{P}_0}\right)(2 \mathrm{~L})$  $(D)$ $\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_0 \pi \mathrm{R}^2}{\pi \mathrm{R}^2 \mathrm{P}_0-\mathrm{Mg}}\right)(2 \mathrm{~L})$

$3.$  The piston is taken completely out of the cylinder. The hole at the top is sealed. A water tank is brought below the cylinder and put in a position so that the water surface in the tank is at the same level as the top of the cylinder as shown in the figure. The density of the water is $\rho$. In equilibrium, the height $\mathrm{H}$ of the water column in the cylinder satisfies

$(A)$ $\rho g\left(\mathrm{~L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)^2+\mathrm{P}_0\left(\mathrm{~L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)+\mathrm{L}_0 \mathrm{P}_0=0$

$(B)$ $\rho \mathrm{g}\left(\mathrm{L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)^2-\mathrm{P}_0\left(\mathrm{~L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)-\mathrm{L}_0 \mathrm{P}_0=0$

$(C)$ $\rho g\left(\mathrm{~L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)^2+\mathrm{P}_0\left(\mathrm{~L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)-\mathrm{L}_0 \mathrm{P}_0=0$

$(D)$ $\rho \mathrm{g}\left(\mathrm{L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)^2-\mathrm{P}_0\left(\mathrm{~L}_0-\mathrm{H}\right)+\mathrm{L}_0 \mathrm{P}_0=0$

Give the answer question $1,2$ and $3.$

The height of a mercury barometer is $ 75 cm$ at sea level and $ 50 cm$  at the top of a hill. Ratio of density of mercury to that of air is $10^4$. The height of the hill is ....... $km$
