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.
What type of barometer was invented first the aneroid or the mercury?
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. (:
If Torricelli's had drilled a little hole at the top oh the glass tube holding his mercury column what would have happend to his barometer?
If Torricelli had drilled a hole at the top of the glass tube holding the mercury column, the mercury would flow out of the tube due to the air pressure pushing down on the surface of the mercury. This would cause the column to drop, and the barometer would no longer be able to accurately measure atmospheric pressure.
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.
What was the device that Torricelli invented for measuring air pressure called?
The device that Torricelli invented for measuring air pressure is called a barometer. It works by balancing the weight of the atmosphere with the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube.
If Torricelli had drilled a little hole at the top of a glass tube holding his mercury column what would have happened to his barometer?
He would not have had a barometer. He would have had a glass tube stuck into a bowl of Mercury, with nothing in it. Because once the hole was made the vacuum would be gone and the mercury would fall back down to the bowl.It takes the vacuum in the tube to create a barometer.

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.
Describe how a mersury barometer measures airpressure?
A mercury barometer is a 1 meter long glass tube with the top sealed and turned upside down in a bath of mercury the pressure on the surface of the bath of mercury lifts the level of the mercury in the tube dependent on atmospheric pressure.
What supports the column of mercury inside the glass tube of a barometer?
Another tube. Or in a solid manomometerof any type, a hollowed out, encapsulated space.
What is the most commonly used barometer?
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.
