Question
Chapter 10, Problem 6QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The height of mercury in a barometer is independent of the cross-sectional area of the tube, is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
A barometer is a device, used to measure only atmospheric pressure.
It works on the principle of comparison of pressure applied by mercury to that of atmospheric pressure.
Atmospheric pressure changes with distance above or below sea level, a barometer can also be used to measure altitude.
The formula used to calculate pressure is
