Because it is both liquid and heavy.
mercury manometer
Scientists use mercury barometers and aneroid barometers to measure atmospheric pressure. Mercury barometers measure pressure by balancing the weight of mercury against atmospheric pressure, while aneroid barometers use a flexible metal box to detect pressure changes.
Mercury and an aneroid barometer are both used to measure atmospheric pressure. However, mercury barometers use a column of mercury to measure pressure changes, while aneroid barometers use a flexible metal box to make pressure readings. Both devices are used to forecast weather patterns.
A pressure gauge or manometer is typically used to measure pressure above atmospheric pressure. These devices can accurately measure the pressure difference between the system being measured and atmospheric pressure.
Mercury and aneroid barometers.
a barometer... and it is invented by torricelli..
barometers with mercury measure air pressure. when the air pressure is high the mercury rises
It measure the Atmospheric Pressure.
The standard measure of blood pressure is the millimeters of mercury.
Manometers can be classified into two main types: mercury (fluid column) manometers and pressure-sensing element manometers. Mercury manometers use the height of a mercury column to measure pressure, while pressure-sensing element manometers use a diaphragm, Bourdon tube, or bellows to measure pressure.
The device used to measure air pressure is called a barometer. It can be either an aneroid barometer or a mercury barometer, both of which are commonly used to measure atmospheric pressure.
The two main types of barometers are mercury barometers, which use a column of mercury to measure air pressure, and aneroid barometers, which use a small metal box that expands or contracts with changes in pressure to indicate atmospheric pressure.
