Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.3P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The working of barometer should be explained along with whether the column of mercury in a barometer is shorter when it is on a mountain top or at sea level.
Concept Introduction:
The force which is exerted by a gas on the walls of the container is known as pressure of a gas.
The pressure which is exerted by the weight of the air above it at any point on the surface of earth is known as atmospheric pressure. The atmosphere supports a mercury column about 760 mmHg at sea level.
