A dropping tube uses air pressure by creating a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the tube. When the tube is sealed at the top and the bottom is opened, the pressure inside the tube decreases as the air escapes, causing the liquid to be "dropped" into a container below.

What happens When the barometer is dropping air pressure is .?

When the barometer is dropping, it indicates that the air pressure is decreasing, which suggests that a low-pressure system or a weather front is moving in. This can often lead to cloudy or rainy weather as the atmosphere becomes less stable.


Why the mercury can not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in the glass tube?

Mercury does not rise in a lab thermometer if there is air in the glass tube because the presence of air creates pressure within the tube that opposes the expansion of the mercury. Without a vacuum, the air pressure prevents the mercury from moving freely up the tube in response to changes in temperature.


Does raindrop formation cause air pressure to drop or does dropping air pressure cause raindrops to form?

Dropping air pressure causes raindrops to form. As air rises, it cools and reaches its dew point, causing water vapor to condense into liquid water droplets, forming clouds and eventually precipitation. This process does not directly affect air pressure.


A tube contains enclosed air by a thread of mercury of 250 mm long when tube is horizontal the length of air is 250 mm long what is the pressure on the air column when atmospheric pressure is 750 mmhg?

A tube contains enclosed air by a thread of mercury of 250mm long when tube is horizontal the length of air is 250 mm long. The pressure on the air column when atmospheric pressure is 750 mm Hg is 3 Pascal or 3 N / m2.


How is the air pressure equalized in the ear?

Eustachian tube.


Why when you blow the top of the glass tube the ink will move up?

Blowing on the top of a glass tube creates a change in air pressure inside the tube. This change in pressure causes the ink to move up because it is being pushed by the higher air pressure outside the tube. This phenomenon is known as air pressure or Boyle's law in action.


What prevents mercury in the tube of a barometer from running out into the container at the bottom of the tube?

The top of a barometric tube is sealed leaving no place for air to escape. It works along the same principle as a drinking straw, but in reverse. In a drinking straw, the sucking motion reduces the pressure of the air inside the straw to a lower level than the air outside the straw. Liquid resists changes in volume due to pressure and is drawn up through the tube due to the air pressure exerted on the surface of the liquid outside the straw. In a barometric tube the tube is sealed at one end, trapping a finite amount of gas in the tube. The air pressure inside and outside the tube is equal, keeping the mercury suspended at a certain level. If the pressure outside is raised, more force is exerted on the surface of the mercury outside the tube than on the surface inside. This raises the level of the mercury in the tube until the pressure of the air is equalized -- there is still just as much air in the tube, but a smaller volume at a greater pressure.
