Weight = mass x gravitational field strength.

W=mg

On Earth, g=9.8N/kg

On Mercury, g=3.8N/kg

Thefore the difference in weight will be the objects mass x (9.8-3.8) = 6 x the objects mass.

Weight difference = 6m

How does the weight of mercury in barometer tube compared with weight of equal cross section of air from sea level to top of atmosphere?

The weight of mercury in a barometer tube is significantly greater than the weight of an equal cross section of air from sea level to the top of the atmosphere. This is due to the much higher density of mercury compared to air. The weight of the mercury column in the barometer creates the atmospheric pressure that is measured.


How does a mercury pressure device work?

A mercury pressure device, such as a manometer, works based on the principle that the pressure of a fluid is directly proportional to the height of the fluid column. In a mercury manometer, a column of mercury is used to measure the pressure difference between two points. The difference in height of the mercury column indicates the pressure difference between the two points.


What is 80 pounds on mercury?

Assuming you are referring to weight, 80 pounds on Earth would be equivalent to about 27 pounds on Mercury due to Mercury's weaker gravity.


How is a mercury barometer construct?

A mercury barometer consists of a tall glass tube filled with mercury inverted into a container of mercury. The mercury in the tube will fall until the weight of the mercury column is balanced by the atmospheric pressure pushing down on the surface of the mercury in the container. The measurement is then taken from the height of the mercury column in the tube.


A chair has a mass 10 kilograms on Earth. What is the mass of the chair on Mercury?

The mass of an object remains the same regardless of its location, so the chair still has a mass of 10 kilograms on Mercury. However, the chair's weight would be different due to the difference in gravity between Earth and Mercury.

How heavy does an average child weigh on mercury?

An average child would weigh approximately 38.7% of their weight on Mercury compared to Earth. This means that if a child weighs 50 pounds on Earth, they would weigh around 19.35 pounds on Mercury. Mercury's weaker gravity compared to Earth is responsible for this difference in weight.

How much more or less will you weigh if you went to Mercury?

Being on Mercury will change your weight because you would be pulled down with a smaller force. You would weigh on Mercury 0.38 time your weight on Earth.
