Torricelli's barometer used mercury. Pascal duplicated it using French wine of density 984 kg m^(-3) . Determine the height of the wine column for normal atmospheric pressure.

Torricelli's barometer used mercury but pascal duplicated it using French wine of density 984 kg m^(-3) . In that case, the height of the wine column for normal atmospheric pressure is (Take the density of mercury =1.36xx10^(3) kg m^(-3) )

Why mercury is used in barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure?

What would be the height of column in barometer if water ("density" = 1000 Kg//m^(3)) is used instead of mercury for measuring atmospheric pressure?

If water be used to construct a barometer, what would be the height of water column at a standard atmospheric presure (76cm of mercury)?

Explain how is the height of mercury column in the tube of a simple barometer, a measure of the atmospheric pressure.

(a) Calculate the height of a water column which will exert on its base the same pressure as the 70 cm column of mercury. Density of mercury is 13.6 g cm^(-3) (b) Will the height of the water column in part (a) change if the cross section of the water column is made wider ?

At the middle of the mercury barometer tube there is a little column of air with the length l_(0) and there is vacuum at the top as shown. Under the normal atmospheric pressure and the temperature of 200 le,vom/ l_(0)=10cm . What will be the length of the air column if the temperature rises to 330 kelvin? (Neglict expansion of the tube)

An altimeter is an aneroid barometer which makes use of the change in atmospheric pressure with the change in height above the sea level (altitude). How does the atmospheric pressure change with increase in height above the sea level?

A barometer correctly reads the atmospheric pressure as 76cm of mercury. Water droplets are slowly introduced into the barometer tube by a dropper. The height of the mercury column first decreases and then become constant. If the saturation vapour pressure at the atmospheric temperature is 0.80cm of mercury, find the height if the mercury column when it reaches its minimum value.
