Que-1: Write the numerical value of the atmospheric pressure on the surface of earth in pascal.
Ans: 1.013 x 10 5 pascal
Question 2. What physical quantity is measured in torr ? How is it related to the S.I. unit of the quantity?
Ans: Atmospheric pressure is measured in ‘torr’. 1 torr = 1 mm of Hg.
Que-3: Name the physical quantity which is expressed in the unit ‘atm’. State its value in pascal.
Ans: At normal temperature and pressure, the barometric height is 0.76 m of Hg at sea level which is taken as one atmosphere. 1 atmosphere = 0.76 m of Hg = 1.013 x 105 pascal
Que-4: A partially inflated balloon is placed inside a bell jar connected to a vacuum pump. On creating vacuum inside the bell jar , balloon gets more inflated, how does the pressure change ; increase , decrease or remain same , inside the (a) bell jar and (b) balloon ?
Ans:
(a) decrease
(b) decrease
Que-5: What is the purpose of a barometer?
Ans: A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure.

Que-6: What is meant by the statement ‘the atmospheric pressure at a place is 76 cm of Hg’? State its value in Pa.
Ans: The atmospheric pressure at a place is 76 cm of Hg means at normal temperature and pressure, the height of the mercury column supported by the atmospheric pressure is 76 cm. 76 cm of Hg = 1.013 x 105 pascal
Que-7: How is the barometric height of a simple barometer affected if
(a) Its tube is pushed down into the trough of mercury?
(b) Its tube is slightly tilted from vertical?
(c) A drop of liquid is inserted inside the tube
Ans: (a) The barometric height remains unaffected.
(b) The barometric height remains unaffected.
(c) The barometric height decreases.
Que-8: State two uses of a barometer.
Ans: Two uses of barometer:
(a) To measure the atmospheric pressure.
(b) For weather forecasting
Que-9: How is the height of mercury in a barometer affected when it is taken to (i) a mine, and (ii) a hill?
Ans:
(i) In a mine, reading of a barometer increases.
(ii) On hills, reading of barometer decreases.
Que-10: What do the following indicate in a barometer regarding weather :
(a) gradual fall in the mercury level,
(b) sudden fall in the mercury level,
(c) Gradual rise in the mercury level?
Ans:
(a) It indicates that the moisture is increasing i.e., there is a possibility of rain.
(b) It indicates the coming of a storm or cyclone.
(c) It indicates that the moisture is decreasing i.e., it indicates dry weather.
