Answer from: 224509

Gas pressure = 695 torr

Explanation:

If the mercury level to an open-ended of manometer is higher than the mercury level of the arm connected to the gas flask, then atmospheric pressure is lower than gas pressure.

Gas pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Δh

where Δh is the difference in mercury level of both arm.

And if the mercury level to an open-ended of manometer is lower than the mercury level of the arm connected to the gas flask, then atmospheric pressure is greater than gas pressure.

Gas pressure = Atmospheric pressure - Δh

Given data:

Atmospheric pressure = 745 torr = 745 mmHg (Because 1 torr = 1 mmHg)

Δh = 50 mm

As in our case, mercury level to an open-ended of manometer is lower than the mercury level of the arm connected to the neon gas flask. So,

Gas pressure = Atmospheric pressure - Δh

Gas pressure = 745 - 50

Gas pressure = 695 mm Hg

Gas pressure = 695 torr

Answer from: meowandcake

The neon pressure : 695 torr

Further explanation

The pressure on the gas in a confined space is measured using a manometer. One that is used is an open manometer

The manometer is open in the shape of a U tube and is filled with mercury liquid with both ends open. The other end is related to external pressure while the other end is connected to the room where the pressure will be measured

The height of the mercury will change when the end of the tube is connected to the room

The room for the problem above is A flask containing neon gas

The equation used is

P gas = P bar ± Δh

P bar = atmospheric pressure

Δh = difference in mercury height

The + sign if the mercury surface at the tip is associated with the outside water is higher and vice versa, the sign - if the mercury surface is lower

The statement of the question states that the surface / mercury level at the end connected to the system / room / flask is higher than the open end, by 50 mm, so the amount of gas pressure:

Because 1 torr = 1 mmHg then

P gas = P bar - h

P gas = 745 mmHg - 50 mm

P gas = 695 mmHg = 695 torr

Ametal ring 4.20 cm in diameter is placed between the north and south poles of large magnets with the plane of its area perpendicular to the magnetic field. these magnets produce an initial uniform field of 1.12 t between them but are gradually pulled apart, causing this field to remain uniform but decrease steadily at 0.240 t/s . (a) what is the magnitude of the electric field induced in the ring? (b) in which direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) does the current flow as viewed by someone on the south pole of the magnet?
