one can use a magnet to push down the indexes and reset it
Torricelli invented a device for measuring air pressure called a mercury barometer. It consists of a glass tube filled with mercury placed in a dish of mercury. The height of the mercury in the tube changes with variations in atmospheric pressure.
As you climb a mountain, the atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, causing the mercury level in the barometer to decrease. This is because there is less air pressing down on the mercury in the barometer as you ascend, leading to a lower reading.
Mercury barometer precaution
A mercury barometer works by, measuring the height of a column of mercury in a sealed tube, supported by the atmospheric pressure.An aneroid barometer measures the amount of distortion of a sealed metal can, due to changes in atmospheric pressure. The equivalent column of mercury supported by a mercury barometer, can then be calibrated in mmHg by comparison.Both instruments do the same job and can be calibrated in Millibars or mmHg, or both.
Air pressure is typically measured using a barometer. This instrument can be either an aneroid barometer or a mercury barometer. It provides a numerical value that represents the force exerted by air molecules in a specific area.
A mercury barometer.
barometer has mercury inside it .
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. (:
A Mercury barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure.
A barometer that uses mercury measures air pressure by monitoring the height of the mercury column in a tube. As air pressure changes, the mercury level rises or lowers in response. This instrument is called a mercury barometer.
One statement to accurately describe a difference between a mercury barometer and an aneroid barometer is that a mercury barometer is a closed tube containing mercury. An aneroid barometer is a closed, flexible container of gas.
Good question.Look at it like this if you had two barometers side by side, one a mercury barometer and the other a barometer that reacted to changes in air pressure using some bellows and a spring.Then, as the pressure changed you marked the second barometer positions and noted on the dial the inches reading from the mercury barometer, the second barometer measurement scale would mimic the real mercury barometer even though it did not actually use any mercury.
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.
A barometer is a closed-system vacuum that allows the mercury to expand with changes in temperature and pressure.
