What is the physical quantity measured by a barometer?
A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure. It can measure the pressure exerted by the atmosphere by using water, air, or mercury. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather. Numerous measurements of air pressure are used within surface weather analysis to help find surface troughs, high pressure systems, and frontal boundaries.See the related link .A barometer measures air pressure.A barometer is an instrument that is used to measure atmospheric pressure.
What is the most commonly used barometer?
The most commonly used barometer is the mercury barometer.However, it is not easy to transport but it gives more accurate results. Another type of barometer is Aneroid barometer which is easy to transport and handle.
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. (:
Structure of barometer?
nowadays there are many types of barometer. some are automatic and some are manual. so, please name which type of barometer's structure you want to know.
What instrument is used to measure air pressure?
There are several options depending on the type of air pressure being measured:In the 1800's ships used a weather glass - a simple barometer - to measure changes in air pressure.To measure atmospheric (ambient air) pressure, a barometer is used. (It may be either an aneroid or a Mercury type of barometer.)For tires, it's a tire pressure gauge.In industrial processes and boilers the gauge is frequently called a manometer.For pressure vessels it is a Bourdon gauge.
What type of data does a barometer supply?
the data the barmoeterhas is measuring
Which type of barometer is the most commonly used today?
Aneroid
Which type of barometer is most commonly used today?
aneroid
What is the difference between a Bourdon gauge and a barometer?
A barometer measures the pressure of the atmosphere. A manometer measures the pressure of something (most often a gas) inside a container. Some simple manometers actually measure the difference between the pressure inside the container and atmospheric pressure outside.
What is the significance of the barometer?
The barometer measures air pressure. Its main usefulness is when the pressure is rising or falling. If you are in a house with a basement and the sky looks ominous and you suddenly see the gauge on the barometer decreasing, it means that the air pressure around your house has started falling fast. It also means you should get into your basement as fast as possible so you will avoid the tornado that will blow your house away. A falling barometer indicates stormy weather is coming. A rising barometer indicates fair weather is coming. With satellites and weather reports we have less need for barometers except during severe storms when we most need such reports.
What is the unit used to measure atmospheric pressure?
the Barometer by Torricelli Type your answer here...
A device used to display atmosphere pressure is a?
A device used to display atmospheric pressure is a barometer, or you can use an evacuated cell type of gauge.
