What is Torricelli’s experience? How does a mercury barometer work?
August 27, 2020 | Education
| We took a glass tube 1 m long, sealed at one end. The tube is filled with mercury. The free end of the tube is closed and the tube is inverted. The tube is placed in a jar of mercury and the opening is opened. Part of the mercury from the tube is poured into the vessel. The column of mercury in the tube is set at a certain height. It is approximately equal to 760mm.
