A U-tube manometer is connected to a gas pipe. The level of the liquid in the manometer arm open to the atmosphere is 170 mm lower than the level of the liquid in the arm connected to the gas pipe. The liquid in the manometer has specific gravity of 0.8. Find the absolute pressure of the gas if the manometer reads 760 mm of Hg.

Given : Barometer reading = 761 mm of Hg
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.79 m/s2
Density of mercury = 13640 kg/m3.
5. An artificial satellite revolves round the earth with a relative velocity of 800 m/s. If acceleration due to gravity is 9 m/s2 and gravitational force is 3600 N, calculate its kinetic energy.
