Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.14PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
It should be stated with reasons whether the vacuum above the mercury in the column of mercury affects the reading it gives.
Concept introduction:
Barometer is used to measure the atmospheric pressure. Distance above or below sea level changes the atmospheric pressure, therefore it can also be used to measure altitude. In mercury barometer, a column of mercury is balanced by atmospheric pressure and the height of the column can be measured precisely.
