Mercury is often used in barometer because

B. 33 m/sec.

C. 40 m/sec.

D. 90 m/sec.

According to the principle of buoyancy a body totally or partially immersed in a fluid will be lifted up by a force equal to

The difference of pressure between the inside and outside of a liquid drop is

A. $${\text{p}} = {\text{T}} \times {\text{r}}$$

B. $${\text{p}} = \frac{{\text{T}}}{{\text{r}}}$$

C. $${\text{p}} = \frac{{\text{T}}}{{2{\text{r}}}}$$

D. $${\text{p}} = \frac{{2{\text{T}}}}{{\text{r}}}$$

Fluid is a substance that
