Question
A barometer kept in an elevator reads 76cm when it is at rest. If the elevator goes up with increasing speed, the reading will be:
-
zero.
-
76cm.
-
< 76cm.
-
> 76cm.
✓
Answer
- < 76cm.
If the elevator goes up at an increasing speed, then the effective value of g increases.
We know:
P = ρgh.
So, h will have a lesser value for the same value of P if g increases.
