Practice question
Question
A manometer with seawater (ρ\=1.03×103kg/m3) shows a height difference of 0.22m. What is the pressure difference? (Take g\=9.8m/s2)
Explanation
ΔP = ρgh. ρ = 1.03×103kg/m3, g = 9.8m/s2, h = 0.22m. ΔP = 1.03×103×9.8×0.22 = 2220.68Pa. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 2200 Pa. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
