What is a barometer filled with?
A barometer is typically filled with either mercury or a special type of alcohol, such as ethanol or isopropanol. Mercury has traditionally been a common choice due to its density and stability for measuring atmospheric pressure.
What is moment of inertia of partially filled tube with liquid and set horizontal rotating about a vertical axis passing through its center?
The moment of inertia of a partially filled tube with liquid rotating horizontally about a vertical axis through its center is affected by the distribution of mass within the tube. The moment of inertia depends on the shape of the tube, the mass of the liquid, the radius of the tube, and the distance of the liquid's center of mass from the rotation axis. The parallel axis theorem can be used to calculate the moment of inertia of the tube and liquid system.
Why mercury has high surface tension?
If you have a large jar filled with mercury and a small jar filled with water, then the mercury has more volume than the water. If the water is in the large jar, then the water has more volume than the mercury.
What gas is filled in tubelight and what's the role of that gas?
Tubelight is filled with inert gases like argon and mercury vapor. The inert gas helps to facilitate the flow of electricity between the electrodes when the bulb is switched on, which in turn produces ultraviolet light.
What did the first barometer look like?
The first barometer was a mercury barometer invented by Evangelista Torricelli in 1643. It consisted of a glass tube filled with mercury inverted in a dish of mercury. As atmospheric pressure changed, the mercury level in the tube would rise or fall, allowing for the measurement of air pressure.
Why is a bag of nails have more inertia than an equal sized bag of cotton?
Size generally refers to volume in respect to containers. As a result a bag filled with nails will have more mass than an equal sized bag filled with cotton. Inertia is proportional to mass and the velocity the mass is travelling at, or alternately the mass and the acceleration it is subjected to. As a consequence a bag filled with nails travelling at the same velocity (or subjected to the same acceleration) as an equal sized bag filled with cotton has a greater inertia due to its greater mass.
Which instrument is often filled with mercury or colored water or alcohol?
Thermometers are the instrument that is often filled with mercury, colored water, or alcohol. Most early thermometers were made with mercury.
What were thermometers once filled with?
I think that thermometers (liquid) were once filled with mercury. Xo, Smartiiz.
Why did they stop making mercurochrome?
It stained and was filled with mercury.
When A (ordinary) glass bottle is filled to the brim with mercury. If the temperature of both the bottle and mercury are increased by 19.3oC what fraction of the mercury will spill out of the bottle?
When the temperature of the glass bottle and mercury increases, the volume of both also increases. However, since mercury has a greater coefficient of volume expansion than the glass, it will expand more, causing it to spill out of the bottle. The fraction that will spill out can be calculated using the coefficients of volume expansion for mercury and glass, along with the initial volume of mercury and bottle.
What is a mercury filled glass tube that measures air temperature called?
A mercury-filled glass tube that measures air temperature is called a mercury thermometer.
What is a barometer filled with?
A barometer is typically filled with either mercury or a special type of alcohol, such as ethanol or isopropanol. Mercury has traditionally been a common choice due to its density and stability for measuring atmospheric pressure.
What are thermometers filled with besides mercury?
Thermometers can be filled with alcohol, which is a less toxic alternative to mercury. Some modern thermometers use digital sensors to measure temperature, eliminating the need for any liquid filling.
What is mercury filled glass tube that measures air pressure?
This is called a barometer.barometerBarometer
If Two balloons a and b are filled with hot air and cold air respectively how would you compare their densities?

Why do OSHA and EPA and the AMA all discourage the use of mercury filled clinical thermometers?
When mercury filled thermometers break, the mercury is released. Mercury is toxic to people, pets and the environment. There is a long history of mercury from broken thermometers and other medical devices being improperly dealt with, or even ignored. Since there are adequate replacements for mercury thermometers, OSHA, EPA, AMA and others discourage the use of mercury thermometers and encourage their replacement with thermometers using other technologies.
