atmospheric pressure changes as depth changes because the further down you go, the more pressure there is. in other words, the pressure increases as the atmosphere gets deeper. :3

Why does the height of the column in a barometer changes as atmospheric pressure changes?

As the atmospheric pressure changes, the force pushing on the surface of the liquid changes. Therefore,the height of the liquid in the tube increases as the atmospheric pressure increases.


Does absolute pressure in a liquid of constant density double when the depth is doubled?

No, the absolute pressure in a liquid of constant density would not double in this situation. This is because the atmospheric pressure is an independent variable, so it will keep the absolute pressure from doubling.


How do you calculate total pressure of water?

The total pressure of water is calculated by adding the atmospheric pressure to the pressure due to the depth of the water column using the formula: total pressure = atmospheric pressure + (density of water × acceleration due to gravity × depth of water).


Why does the height of the liquid column in a barometer changes as atmospheric pressure changes?

Pressure tendancies measure short term weather. The mercury in a barometer will rise with atmospheric pressure denoting fairer weather and a fall in barometric pressure warns of inclement weather.


What is the difference between gage pressure and absolute pressure, and how do they affect the measurement of pressure in a system?

Gage pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure is the total pressure including atmospheric pressure. Gage pressure only considers the pressure above atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure includes atmospheric pressure as well. This affects pressure measurements in a system because gage pressure readings will fluctuate with changes in atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure readings will remain constant regardless of atmospheric pressure changes.


What is the difference between atmosphere pressure and water pressure?

Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere above a given point, while water pressure is the force exerted by water on an object or surface due to the depth of the water. Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, while water pressure increases with depth.


Why do you mentioning the boiler pressure in 'ata'?

Normal atmospheric pressure is abbreviated as atm. But when computing for the amount of total pressure exerted on an object at a specific depth or elevation, including normal atmospheric pressure, then the abbreviation ata is used. It stands for atmospheric pressure absolute.


How does the atmospheric pressure change?

Atmospheric pressure changes with altitude, decreasing as you go higher in the atmosphere. It also varies with weather conditions, such as high or low pressure systems moving in. Additionally, temperature changes can influence atmospheric pressure, with colder air typically having higher pressure.


What does Mercury borometer measure?

A mercury barometer measures atmospheric pressure by determining the height of a column of mercury that is supported by atmospheric pressure in a closed tube. By observing changes in this column height, meteorologists can track changes in atmospheric pressure over time.


Why does atmospheric pressure changes as altitude increases?

the lower you go in relation to the top of the atmosphere the larger the column of air is that is pressing down on you. so if you are 3 ft from the edge of the atmosphere you only have 3 ft of air pushing on you but if you are at sea level you have thousands of feet of air pushing down.


Atmospheric pressure as element of weather?

Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the air or the pressure exerted onto the Earth by the air. Pressure changes can lead to different weather patterns.


What are two main causes of large scale atmospheric circulation?

Atmospheric pressure changes and gravity.
