What measures a barometer with Mercury?
Maybe you mean what does a mercury barometer measure. In which case the answer is atmospheric pressure.
What deos a barometer measure?
A barometer is used to measure air pressure. It measures the atmospheric pressure using air, mercury, or water and will be shown as inches of mercury or millibars.
What is the difference between how air pressure is indicated in a mercury barometer and an aneroid barometer?
Usually no difference at all. They can both move a pointer around a circular scale. The scale can be calibrated in both Inches of Mercury (InHg) or Millbars (Mb). An aneroid system can lend itself more easily to a digital display.
What is in a thermometer and a barometer?
A thermometer measures temperature - most are now electric but they used to have alcohol or mercury in them. A barometer measures air pressure - they are now electric but used to have air in them (in a bellows with a spring).
What is a mercury barometer?
A mercury barometer is a device used to measure atmospheric pressure. It consists of a glass tube filled with mercury, with one end submerged in a mercury bath. Changes in atmospheric pressure cause the level of mercury in the tube to rise or fall, which can be used to determine the current pressure readings.
What is a barometer with Mercury called?
A mercury barometer.
Types of Barometers?
The two common types of barometers are mercury barometers, which use the height of mercury in a column to measure atmospheric pressure, and aneroid barometers, which utilize a flexible metal membrane to detect and measure pressure changes without using liquid. Digital barometers are also becoming more popular, using electronic sensors to measure pressure.
Describe how a mersury barometer measures airpressure?
A mercury barometer is a 1 meter long glass tube with the top sealed and turned upside down in a bath of mercury the pressure on the surface of the bath of mercury lifts the level of the mercury in the tube dependent on atmospheric pressure.
A barometer is an instrument used for measuring water pressure?
otherwise know as a barometer and it measures air pressure in newtons
What are the Precautions for aneroid and mercury barometer?
Mercury barometer precaution
An aneroid barometer is different from a mercury barometer in that it does not contain?
Mercury
What Measures AtMosphere Pressure?
A Barometer measures atmospheric pressure.
