Questions and Answers

What is the atmospheric pressure at sea level?

  • 750 mmHg
  • 760 mmHg (correct)
  • 770 mmHg
  • 780 mmHg

What is the relationship between the length of Column A and the force?

  • The length of the column is inversely proportional to the force
  • The longer the column, the smaller the force
  • The longer the column, the bigger the force (correct)
  • The length of the column has no effect on the force

What is the indication of the longer Column A?

  • The pressure is bigger (correct)
  • The pressure is smaller
  • There is no force or pressure
  • The force is smaller
