To measure the local pressure of the Earth's atmosphere, Torricelli invented the first Mercury Barometer.
What are the Precautions for aneroid and mercury barometer?
Mercury barometer precaution
What are the difference between the mercury barometer and aneroid barometer?
A mercury barometer works by, measuring the height of a column of mercury in a sealed tube, supported by the atmospheric pressure.An aneroid barometer measures the amount of distortion of a sealed metal can, due to changes in atmospheric pressure. The equivalent column of mercury supported by a mercury barometer, can then be calibrated in mmHg by comparison.Both instruments do the same job and can be calibrated in Millibars or mmHg, or both.
When climbing a mountain with a barometer will the mercury level decrease or increase?
decrease
What does a decrease in the height of the mercury column usually indicate on a barometer?
