The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760mm of mercury. At what height it will be 740mm of mercury? Take the density of air 1.293kg/m3 constant upto height about 1 km.

Given, atmospheric pressure, P1= 760 mm of Hg
Atmospheric pressure, P2 = 740 mm of Hg
Density of air,

Let the height at which the atmospheric pressure is decreased be 'h'.

Now, Pressure due to h height of air = Pressure due to 2 cm or 0.02 m of mercury.

Threfore,

1.293 x g x h = 13600 x g x 0.02

$⇒$             h = 210 m, is the height at which the atmospheric pressure will decrease.

Why solids have definite shape while liquids do not have definite shape?

Solids: Intermolecular forces are very strong and thermal agitations are not sufficiently strong to separate the molecules from their mean position. Solids are rigid and hence they have definite shapes.
Liquids: In liquids intermolecular forces are not sufficiently strong to hold the molecules at definite sites, as a result they move freely within the bulk of liquid, therefore, do not possess definite shapes. Liquids take the same shape as that of the container.
