In most laboratories, with great difficulty. Mercury is a highly toxic substance and its use is very strictly controlled.
A mercury barometer is simple because the height of the mercury column would be 760 mm (approx 30 inches). Mercury has a density which is around 13.6 times that of water. The next most dense fluid which is readily available (and safe) has a density which is about a tenth as much. For this, you would require a column which was about 7.6 metres (25 feet) tall! That is not a simple piece of equipment.

In a homemade barometer why did the straw move up and down?
The straw moved up and down in a homemade barometer due to changes in atmospheric pressure. When the pressure increased, the liquid in the bottle pushed the straw up. When the pressure decreased, the straw moved down due to the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on the liquid in the bottle.
If a meterologist says that air pressure is getting lower what would you expect to see happen to torriclli's mercury barometer?
If air pressure is getting lower, you would expect to see the mercury in Torricelli's barometer rise. This is because low air pressure allows the mercury in the barometer tube to be pushed up by the weight of the atmosphere.
Structure of barometer?
A barometer typically consists of a glass tube filled with mercury or a liquid metal, sealed at one end and open at the other. The open end is placed in a container of mercury, allowing atmospheric pressure to push the mercury up the tube. The height of the mercury column is a measure of the atmospheric pressure.

hahahaha i cant believe u looked at this question
How would a barometer reading change if you went to a higher altitude?
As you go to a higher altitude, the barometer reading would decrease because atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude. This is due to the lower density of air molecules at higher altitudes.

How can someone set up a simple carp rig?

What does it mean when the straw moves up barometer air pressure?
If you have taped a straw to a balloon stretched over a jar top as a simple barometer, when the straw moves up, this is a sign of high pressure (atmosphere pressing down on the balloon). High pressure usually means fine weather.
What is the commonly used laboratory setup?

What sort of work is expected to be performed in laboratory technician jobs?
In a laboratory technician job, you must set up and maintain laboratory equipment. You may also prepare reagents needed for a certain procedure. Occasionally, you might need to instruct and work with other laboratory technicians.
