Question
Chapter 8, Problem 3ALQ
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
