If to r r i c e l li had drilled a little hole at the top of the glass tube holding his Mercury column what would have happened to his barometer?
If Torricelli had drilled a hole at the top of the glass tube holding his Mercury column, air would enter the tube, causing the mercury to drop. This is because the atmospheric pressure, which supports the mercury column, would be equalized with the pressure inside the tube. As a result, the barometer would no longer function properly, as it relies on the vacuum at the top of the column to maintain the height of the mercury.

If to torricelli had drilled a little hole at the top of the glass tube holding his mercury column what would have happened to his barometer?
He would not have had a barometer. He would have had a glass tube stuck into a bowl of Mercury, with nothing in it. Because once the hole was made the vacuum would be gone and the mercury would fall back down to the bowl.It takes the vacuum in the tube to create a barometer.
What planet doesn't have enough gravity to have its own moon?
All planets in our solar system have enough gravity to have their own moons. However two, Mercury and Venus, formed in ways that they don't have any moons. Mercury is a borderline case: while its gravity is theoretically capable of holding a moon, its nearness to the sun and rapid orbit mean it would be very difficult for a moon to remain in a stable orbit.
What is mercury also known as?
You could be asking about the element Mercury or the planet Mercury. The element Mercury is probably most remarkable for being a metal which is liquid at room temperature.However, I think this is about the planet. The planet's famous feature is called the "Caloris Basin".AnswerThe first answer asked a good question regarding the "Mercury" of which you write. I'll assume it is the element mercury. I agree with the above. Also, it changes in volume quite a bit with changes in its temperature. That makes it a good filling for a thermometer. Now, I think they use alcohol. Silver colored material in a thermometer is mercury; red is alcohol of some type.Another well-known feature of mercury is that it is heavy compared to other liquids. This is detectable just by holding a container with mercury in it.I believe that it has a high surface tension; that's why it "balls up" when free to sit on a surface.Another feature is that it is a toxin found in polluted streams and thus the creatures that live in these streams. It is considered poisonous and absorbable through the skin, I think.Lastly, it will dissolve gold; keep it off your rings.
Why did Daedalus tell Icarus not fly too near to the sea?
Because he didn't want the wax holding the feathers in place to melt. Which is what happened when Icarus forgot and flew too close to the Sun. The wax melted and the feathers came loose and fell off.
Why do we not expect mercury to have an atmosphere at all?
Well, you see, friend, Mercury is very close to the sun and is a small planet without a strong magnetic field to protect it from the sun's powerful particles. This causes its atmosphere to be blown away by the solar winds, leaving the planet with a very thin atmosphere. TextAlignLEFT

When air pressure increases the liquid in a mercury barometer would what?
The height of the Mercury column would decrease.
If Torricelli's had drilled a little hole at the top oh the glass tube holding his mercury column what would have happend to his barometer?
If Torricelli had drilled a hole at the top of the glass tube holding the mercury column, the mercury would flow out of the tube due to the air pressure pushing down on the surface of the mercury. This would cause the column to drop, and the barometer would no longer be able to accurately measure atmospheric pressure.

What doesnot cause the height of mercury column to vary?
A change in the material of the container holding the mercury does not cause the height of the mercury column to vary. The height of the mercury column is determined by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the mercury in the container.
What happened in the war thermopylae?
It was not a war, it was three days of holding the pass and then withdrawing.
How do you replace hinge on a 95 Mercury cougar?
To replace the hinge on a 95 Mercury Cougar, remove the bolts holding the hinge in place. Find a replacement hinge from the manufacturer and install it using the right hardware.
