In 1643, Evangelista Torricelli invented the first barometer. He figured that if he had a vacuum, an airless space, he could compare the ever-present atmospheric pressure with zero. Torricelli placed a vacuum contained in a glass tube on top of a larger container of mercury. The air pressed ...
12 The diagram shows a simple mercury barometer.vacuum glass tube hmercury A change is made and the vertical height h of the column increases.Which change causes this increase? A A A liquid with a lower density than mercury has been used. B Atmospheric pressure decreases. C A narrower glass...
Another answer — doubtlessly an engineering student — wanted to find the building engineer and offer to give them the barometer in exchange for the height of the building. By the same token, you could find the temperature by monitoring a standard thermometer with a camera or even a level ...
What happens to the height of the column of mercury in a mercury barometer as you climb to the top of a mountain?Pressure:Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object divided by the area over which that force is distri...
A fixed quantity of gas occupies a volume of 3.88 L at a pressure of 600 mmHg. Calculate the volume this gas will occupy if the pressure is changed to 1700 mmHg. A barometer reading is taken and it is 1.1 atm. How man...
Barometer:The barometer is the instrument that is used to measure the pressure. It is an inverted glass tube in which mercury is used as the liquid. The barometer is also known as the Torricellian barometer as it is invented by Evangelista Torricelli....
