- #8A satellite revolves round the earth. Air pressure inside the satellite is maintained at 76 cm of mercury. What will be the height of mercury column in a barometer tube 1 m long placed in the satellite?Ans : Pressure at point A is 76 cm of mercury. Therefore, mercury will rise to full length of the tube, i.e., 1 m, to maintain equal pressure at points A and B. Inside the satellite, `` {\,\mathrm{\,g\,}}_{\,\mathrm{\,effective\,}}=0``, so the pressure due to height of the mercury column will be zero.
