The barometer below shows the level of mercury at a given atmospheric pressure. Fill all the other barometers with mercury for that same atmospheric pressure. Explain your answer.
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The given mercury level of barometers has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Instruments are used for measuring pressure, such as the manometer often contain mercury, the most commonly used units for pressure are based on the
height of the mercury column (in millimeters) that the gas pressure can support.
The fundamental units of pressure involve units o f force divided by units of area
Explanation of Solution
Explanation
The barometer on the left in the diagram below shows the level of mercury at a given atmospheric pressure. Fill all the other barometers with mercury for that same atmospheric pressure.
Atmospheric pressure results from the mass of the air being pulled toward the center of the earth by gravity-in other words, it results from the weight of the air...
