Understanding Atmospheric Pressure Effects

The document discusses the application of atmospheric pressure in a syringe and a vacuum cleaner. It explains how pulling the piston in a syringe creates a pressure difference that draws liquid in, while a vacuum cleaner operates by reducing air pressure to draw in air and dust. Additionally, it mentions that gas pressure is measured using a mercury manometer with specific equations provided for calculations.

Application of Atmospheric Pressure

Syringe
1. When the piston is being pulled .......................................... , volume of piston ....................................................... .
2. The air pressure in the syringe .................................................................. .
3. The atmospheric pressure becomes .................................................................. than the air pressure in the syringe.

4. Therefore, .................................................................... pressure pushes the liquid into the syringe.

Vacuum cleaner
1. When the switch is turned on, the fan in vacuum cleaner rotates to ............................................. air from the vacuum cleaner .
2. This ........................................................... the air pressure in vaccum cleaner.
3. The atmospheric pressure becomes .................................................................. than the air pressure in the vacuum cleaner.

4. Therefore, ................................ pressure pushes the air and dust into the vacuum cleaner.

3.4 Gas Pressure


1. It is measured by using Mercury Manometer.

Pgas = Patm + Pliquid Pgas = Patm - Pliquid
