What are the parts of a Barometer?
A barometer consists of a glass tube filled with mercury or water, sealed at one end and open at the other. The open end is submerged in a dish of mercury or water to measure air pressure. The height of the liquid in the tube changes with changes in atmospheric pressure.
What would the pressure be in a liquid contained in a vertical tube sealed at the top with a submerged open bottom be?
It would be the same as the pressure in the liquid outside the tube at the open end- the deeper it is in the liquid, the higher the pressure.
If a smell - diameter open glass tube is partially immersed in a vessel containing mercury the surface of the mercury inside the tube will be?
convex
Structure of barometer?
A barometer typically consists of a glass tube filled with mercury or a liquid metal, sealed at one end and open at the other. The open end is placed in a container of mercury, allowing atmospheric pressure to push the mercury up the tube. The height of the mercury column is a measure of the atmospheric pressure.
My door open sensor on the dashboard says you have a door open....but they are closed ...2000 mercury villager...fix how?
Have you checked the rear hatch glass ?? Open it and reclose it firmly.
What does a mercury tilt switch do in a circuit?
Mercury conducts electricity. These switches are usually used in thermometers in air conditioners, etc. There is a coil that is temperature sensitive that causes the mercury to tilt. There are also two electric poles inside of the glass the mercury is contained in. If the glass it tilted in one direction, the liquid mercury encompasses both poles and completes the circuit. If the glass is tilted in the OTHER direction, the mercury moves away from the poles and opens the circuit.
Why glass tube of this mercury barometer is not protected?
The glass tube of a mercury barometer is not typically protected because it needs to be left open to atmospheric pressure in order to accurately measure the height of the mercury column. Any protection around the tube could interfere with this measurement process.
Does the glass tube in a fire sprinkler expand more or less than the liquid inside the tube How do you know?
Loads more The liquid expands more than the glass envelope. You know this because the mechanism is designed to open the water valve to the sprinkler head when the glass envelope shatters when the liquid ruptures it as it heats up.
What is capillary tubes?
In chemistry... it's a thin open-ended glass tube for collecting small amounts of liquid. Inserting one end of the tube into liquid allows the liquid to flow upqwards. When the liquid reaches a suitable height, a finger placed over the open end (towards the top) holds the liquid in the tube - for transferring from one place to another.
Why the surface of the mercury in a glass tube is con vex end that of water concave?
Mercury has a low adhesive force to glass, it would rather bond to itself than another surface. This tends to create a spherical surface on open mercuric faces. Balanced by gravity the hemisphere flattens and creates the slight convex shape observed.
What type of barometer was invented first the aneroid or the mercury?
The first barometer that was invented was the MERCURY barometer. a mercury barometer consists of a glass tube open at the bottom end and partially filled with mercury. (:
Can you drink liquid mercury?
No, liquid mercury is highly toxic and can be fatal if ingested. It can cause severe damage to the internal organs and the nervous system. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if someone has ingested liquid mercury.
