Question
Chapter U3.63, Problem 7E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation :
The change in the mercury level in a barometer needs to be explained when a high pressure system moves into a region.
Concept Introduction :
Mercury level of barometer indicates the atmospheric pressure of a region.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 7E
The mercury level in a barometer increases when a high pressure system moves into a region.
Explanation of Solution
Standard pressure is 1 atm. It is equal to the pressure of 76 cm mercury column.
Now, if a high pressure system moves into a region then the pressure increase will be indicated by the barometer. High pressure needs higher mercury level. So the mercury level in barometer will increase.
Conclusion
Mercury level will increase when a high pressure system moves into a region.
