What equipment did Sir Edmund Hillary use to climb mount Everest?
One piece of equipment was an external frame backpack from a Glendale, CA company called Kelty (now located in Boulder, CO). The backpack used to be on display back in the late 60's/early 70's at the Glendale store, where young backpackers (like me) could gently caress it and dream of our own mountains to conquer.
Tool used to measure the temperature?
Whilst a thermometer may give an 'estimated' readout of which can be right within a few percent of the actual value, this is not very accurate at all. There are of course several different types of thermometers. Some made with quicksilver. Others made with alcohol. With the development of transistors, we started to develop electronic thermometers of which can work in many different ways. they can measure infrared radiation. they can measure intensity and spectrum of light. they can measure with probes of various metals. The art of measuring temperature is a difficult one. Most thermometers only work accurately within a short range. You would for instance not use a thermometer filled with quicksilver or alcohol in order to measure the temperature in a pot of molten lead! First you need to narrow down the field, then you can begin with the right (mostly costly) thermometer for the task. A piece of copper wire can be used in order to measure temperature between -200 and + 150 degrees Celsius. We know that the resistance in copper changes with a certain percentage per degree Celsius. With a bit of calculations we will be able to calculate the temperature to almost perfection if we only know the exact dimensions of the copper wire used. Whilst our best mathematical efforts show possibilities, we still have to be sure that we measure the resistance to a very high degree of perfection too, but this is another subject.
Explain how a barometer and a thermometer are alike?
A thermometer and a barometer are alike, because a thermometer tells temperature, and a barometer tells air pressure. They sort off connect, because when you have lower air pressure, you get colder temperatures and when you have higher air pressure, you know then that the temperature will be hotter. You can kinda tell by looking at only one piece of data, what the other piece might be. I'm pretty sure that's right, I'm only in 7th grade.

How do you measure capacitance?
A capacitance meter is a piece of electronic test equipment used to measure capacitors. Depending on the sophistication of the meter, it may simply display the capacitance or it may also measure a number of other parameters such as leakage, equivalent series resistance, and inductance.
