Question
Chapter 13, Problem 104AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Best explanation for how barometer works should be chosen from the multiple answers given.
Concept Introduction:
The working of barometer involves the balancing of weight of mercury and the glass tube against the atmospheric pressure. The weight of the air above the pool of mercury is known as the atmospheric pressure of mercury. Thus, the mercury level changes until the weight of mercury is exactly equal to the atmospheric pressure. If the level of mercury become constant, the pressure can be recorded at that time from the height of the mercury in the vertical column.
