  2. -- Questions -- MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question.

  3. 1) Consider two mercury barometers, one with twice the cross-sectional area of the other. Neglecting capillarity, mercury in the smaller tube will rise • A) the same height as in the larger tube. • B) twice as high as mercury in the larger tube. • C) four times as high as mercury in the larger tube. • D) more than four times as high as in the larger tube. • E) none of these. • 2) The depth to which an inverted drinking glass must be pushed beneath the surface of water so that the volume of enclosed air is squeezed to half is • 76 cm. • 10.3 m. • 14.7 m. • 20.6 m. • E) 29.4 m.

  4. 3) As a helium-filled balloon rises in the air, it becomes • A) more dense. • B) heavier. • C) bigger. • D) all of these. • E) none of these. • 4) Atmospheric molecules do not fly off into outer space because of • their relatively low densities. • B) Earth gravitation. • C) cohesive forces. • D) their relatively high speeds.
